"I am in the middle of my first Life Sketches class at the Attic Writers' Workshop. I have never tried to write a “life sketch” story. I thought I couldn't write, but here I am delving into my memory bank. Life Sketches has brought forth a life changing experience to the page. The writing prompts Judith Pulman pulls out of her hat have triggered so many memories. I see myself wanting to take more classes at the Attic for inspiration, critique, and for finding friends with similar interests. Thank you, Attic, for starting me on a path I thought I'd never travel."

-- Jade Pekkala, Life Sketches participant

For the last several weeks I built my life around Wednesday and the community I found in the Life Sketches workshop at the Attic. Each session I found pure wonder, exploring my past; and with the encouragement of my classmates, and your expert guidance, I discovered not only what really matters to me, but I how to best share it with others. I recall being younger, too busy for such things. But now at age 63 I find a need to have the time and the place to capture in writing all that has kept me so busy. It’s been a joy! Thank you.

-- Jim Clay, Life Sketches participant
