Writing Workshops - “Writing for Yourself" Writing Workshops with Instructor T.J. Banks
“Writing for Yourself”As I see it, the most important thing in writing is this: Write about what matters to you. It’s really easy to lose sight of this -- even easier to lose your way as a writer. You stop short, freeze up, and begin to doubt yourself and what you saw so vividly at the outset. That’s when you need a thoughtful listener/reader, someone to bounce ideas off of. What this workshop’s about is providing you with a safe creative haven where you can explore all kinds of writing and learn a few “tricks of the trade” that’ll make you a more thoughtful, more observant writer.
T.J. Banks is the author of several books, including Moonlight & Grace, A Time for Shadows, Abys Among Us & Other Stories for the Feline-Inclined, and Catsong, as well as other books, anthologies and poetry. She has worked for The Associated Press and The Writer’s Digest School and taught writing workshops in both Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Line Dancing - Line Dancing (Wednesday) - Jul/Aug With great camaraderie and no need for a partner, this 60-minute class is a wonderful way to stay healthy. Regular line dancing may increase flexibility, strength and lung capacity, and lead to an improvement in bone health, balance and coordination. Adding light weights increases the health benefits! (Weights are optional.) In addition, a 21-year study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that among several forms of exercise studied, only dancing reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia; and it was by a dramatic 76 percent.Instructor: Mary Root
