Writing a memoir asks us to notice the past. In this intensive, we'll examine the many ways that memoirists transform noticing into meaning, gain helpful new prompts, and much more!

Soooo I decided to create that #litmag about chronic illnesses and disabilities written by creators who experience this. Check out the new website for FLARE Magazine, opening to subs very soon! #writingcommunity Spread the word!!

Also, follow our bluesky account: @flaremagazine.bsky.social!
As a writer, I want to make a difference. Part of me kind of wants to create a lit mag that publishes work from disabled and chronically ill writers where the work showcases the realities of chronic illnesses and disabilities.

#writingcommunity

Is this a good idea? Yes? No? Thoughts?
