My first experience with creative writing happened during my participation in the annual USM
Stonecoast Writers’ Conference in 2004. I submitted a journal entry at the time, not knowing
what literary genre my composition fell into. I knew it wasn’t fiction, a novel, or a play, so I
dubbed it creative nonfiction. Since then, my work has appeared in the LLI Review, a journal of
the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and Down East Magazine. For the last three years, the
support and encouragement from Catharine and my colleagues in a Zoom memoir class has been
amazing. So much so that I’m currently writing a memoir about my late son Sam, an accomplished ski racer, who died in an accident during a Make A Wish fundraising competition at Wildcat Mountain..

Thank you Catharine, I loved Beth’s journal entry “Whiff.” It was beautifully written. What a heart-wrenching story. I hope to get writing one of these days too.
Will be in touch. Hope the group is going well! Kristin
