7:00 pm: ARTS WALK FOR BOOK LOVERS WITH CHRISTINE CHATTERTON7:00 pm: ARTS WALK FOR BOOK LOVERS WITH CHRISTINE CHATTERTON – Arts Walk for Book Lovers is back Thursday, September 7, 2017 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The Inlandia Institute kicks off this season with "Traipsing through History: Researching and Using Authentic Sources in Historical Writing". This event will take place on the second floor of the Riverside Public Library, located at 3581 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. Join local author Christine Chatterton as she presents the methods she used in conducting the historical research for her book, "Courage of the Heart: An American Odyssey 1915 to 1923". She will discuss how to best incorporate historical information effectively in your own writing of both true historical narratives and historical fiction. "Courage of the Heart: An American Odyssey 1915 to 1923", is a true historical narrative of World War I, based on the letters found in her husband's grandmother's house after her death. This is an intimate account of two families and four brothers from Western Illinois, each facing the Great War in uniquely different ways. It is the extraordinary love story of Haidee Wilson and Maurice Chatterton, written in their own words, spanning the years from 1915 until 1923. This is an odyssey of courage and hardship, war, death, illness, and finally survival and a love that endured. This is an American Odyssey. Christine Chatterton is an artist, author, poet, and teacher. She has taught reading improvement and special education, in Southern California, for almost thirty years, in every grade from elementary to college level. She writes from her heart, telling the stories of her life and family. Besides the historical narrative, Courage of the Heart: An American Odyssey 1915 to 1923, she has written and illustrated a children's book entitled Samuel's Alphabet Zoo. Her third published work, The Kids on Ford Street, is her own story of growing up in Detroit. She now divides her retirement time between writing, painting, making jewelry, visiting classrooms, traveling, and enjoying her family. This event is free and open to the public. |

10:00 am: BETTER THAN FICTION: WRITING YOUR MEMOIR WITH FLAIR10:00 am: BETTER THAN FICTION: WRITING YOUR MEMOIR WITH FLAIR – Memoirs don't have to read like diaries or timelines. The best ones are written like good novels--with the same literary tools that make great romances and mysteries come alive. This seminar will help memoir writers turn their memoirs into compelling stories, with the same dialogue, description, pacing and narration that make fictional protagonists jump off the page. This five-session hands-on workshop will feature in-class exercises and real-time, constructive feedback for both those who've started their memoir and those who want to get started. The sessions will be held every other week. Session 1: Introduction - What is memoir and how to choose your story. We'll explore some best-selling memoirs and hear from a couple of memoir writers in our community. We'll go home with an assignment to start shaping our story. Session 2: Plotting the narrative arc - Developing your story line and getting started. We'll share our stories with each other, share feedback, and discuss techniques for organizing the narrative based on good fiction-writing techniques. Session 3: Writing great dialogue - How your characters express themselves. We'll discuss the basics for capturing speech and the various techniques for building character and scene through dialogue. We'll make our dialogue as compelling and telling as that in good fiction. Session 4: Setting and action - Creating a sense of place and moving the story forward. We'll discuss how to choose anecdotes that illustrate the story, and ways to put the reader in the midst of the story. We'll practice writing scene-setting narrative in class. Session 5: Self-editing and publishing your memoir - What are your options. We'll try some editing exercises and discuss your options for hiring editors and taking your memoir to print. Please register at https://docs.google.com/a/inlandiainstitute.org/forms/d/1xbM6PpkThvsExttuoC6fC21t7JuEjM_Fw_NMgLgXR6E/edit Dates: Thursdays, September 28, October 12, 26, 9 and 30.
