A duty station that turned out to be amazing when you had prepared to be miserable? A deployment that you thought would be heavy with loneliness and filled with despair, yet you found joy? A homecoming that was supposed to be like a honeymoon but felt more like living with a total stranger?
In this one-session, 90-minute workshop, we will utilize our experience with the unexpected to write a one-page, stream-of-consciousness draft, then distill it down to the perfect “first line” of your story. Lea will guide you with mindfulness, writing prompts, and authentic discussion to write your “unexpected moment,” and you will walk away with that one line that somehow says it all in only a few words. The one that would make you stop if you flipped to that first page in a bookstore…or saw it printed on your coffee mug!
