Next time you’re stuck listening to someone tell you their life story after you just asked where the breakfast taco line starts, hit ’em with this recommendation: “Have you ever tried memoir writing?” It’s easier than ever to start practicing the art of writing your life with this informal meetup hosted by Austin Public Library. Every second Wednesday, you and whoever else is out there with stories to tell can settle in to motivate each other. Need a little more push on what direction your work should take? The library provides prompts and suggestions to get the creative juices flowing. – James Scott
