Stallion Springs offers community writing class

- BY KATHLEEN KLINE Kathleen Kline is an author, writing coach and editor.

The Stallion Springs Community Center is proud to offer a chance for locals to expand their interests.

“We are lucky to be able to offer our community members classes in many things, and we are excited to be able to offer things for more than just the kids in our community. We are now about to offer a set of writing classes by an author, writing coach, editor and publisher with over three decades of experience,” said Parks and Recreation Coordinato­r Nicole LLere. “And

I am happy Kathleen Kline said she would be willing to teach for us, for her community members.”

There are many people who have been told: “That would make a great book, you should write it.”

But they don’t know where to start or where to go with what they’ve already started, according to Kline.

“Or they have a slice of family history they want to leave behind, or a story of survival, but don’t know where to start or go with the thread of the story they have in their heart, mind or soul,” Kline said, “then this might just be the jump start their creativity could use. Even if it’s ‘just’ to write short stories.”

SSCC will offer its community members the opportunit­y to gain the skills, get the guidance, and encouragem­ent from a profession­al with decades of experience, LLere added.

“Whether you know how to write, desire to write, know another community member who could use encouragem­ent to get the words from their mind, souls and heart onto the page ... well this set of classes is for you (and them)!” Kline said. “After all, none of our pennings need to be perfect. We just need to get them out on the page!”

The nine classes will be held at the Stallion Springs Library, located at 20030 Pellisier Road in Cummings Valley.

“The first class, on Feb. 5, or later if you can’t make it that day, will come with

Kathleen’s recently published Weekly Writing Planner and the teaching session for $35. Then the rest of the sessions will be $13 each thereafter,” LLear said.

Aspiring writers can pay for the sessions at the door each week, at the library.
