> Composition and Workshopping of Trial Narrative

Describe an experience or place that you feel has had a profound impact on your quality of life, either positively or negatively. The definition of "experience" is quite broad, but it cannot for this exercise include any injury or illness that you have had. As you write, be aware of trying to use as many words as possible that describe your own emotions and feelings.
