ABOUT THE EVENT

“So.. Tell me. Where are you from?”... It’s the first question people in casual conversation ask, and the answer is always geographic. The real answer? Truth to tell, we are “from” a life-long litany of people, places, things, events, and ideas: a composite of faces and places, realities, and experiences we need to revisit if we want to figure out and put into words who we are and where we are from. Participants will travel through the corridors of memory, and prompted by specific writing exercises, begin, or continue, the craft of memoir.

ABOUT INA

Before retiring to Black Mountain, Ina Hughs was for 45 years a full-time feature columnist, writing 3-5 columns a week for a variety of Knight-Ridder, Scripts Howard, and Gannet newspapers; author of four books; published in hundreds of magazines and anthologies; and featured on radio, book festivals and television, including “Good Morning America” - and teaching writing workshops across the nation. She is an avid reader, an enthusiastic visual artist, and a very poor golfer.
