Katey Schultz, author, mentor, teacher and friend...A few years ago Katey was the "Writer In Residence" at Wallowa County's FishTrap...Along with teaching in the county schools she also offered an evening memoir class...I was lucky enough to catch the 2nd half of this class along with six other adults...It was just a taste of what Katey had to offer...At the urging of a fellow classmate we questioned Katey about continuing classes with her via the internet...In the fall of 2010, "We3" (Pat, Amy, Della) were off and running...Our deal was: Write 15 pages every month, send it to Katey for critique, about a week later, "We3" met over lunch and wine to discuss Katey's critique...Then we started revising, rewriting getting it ready to send back while also writing another 15 pages for her...We committed to six months, then a three month break, reevaluated to decide if we wanted to continue...We continued and here we are starting our fourth year, visions of a book on the horizon.
A week ago Katey emailed me asking if I would consider letting her use my writing as an example in her blog that she posts twice a week...I said, "Yes, I would be delighted and honored." So today she has posted the first of two parts showing how with her instruction my story has come alive...Read The Writing Life by Katey Schultz...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
