- We encourage you to write by hand as much as possible, especially when you are doing prompts, exploring, or brainstorming.
- But, you are welcome to use any tool that you are comfortable with. No two methods, or two memoirists, are the same.
How do I complete the exercises?

- Some will be free writing exercises; others will be more structured with specific instructions.
- For the free writing exercises, simply put pen to paper and see where it takes you.
