Tuesday, 20 August

11.00am

Raffles Room

Complimentary

Synopsis of the Talk:

Senior friends, do you feel an urge to write now that you have the time but don’t know what to write and how to get started? This talk is aimed at helping to launch your interest in writing. I will share why seniors should write and what they can write about. You will be introduced to examples of subjects to write about, such as memoirs and stories about your childhood. I will also introduce some apps and writing tools to help seniors write more efficiently.
