It's a novel way to approach the staggering project of an entire memoir. Its focus: beginning writers or those who would like to polish scene-writing ability. The idea is to create two or three well-crafted pieces that stand on their own. We'll begin with the building block of a scene - provided by the photo - and move into describing character and finding the arc of a piece.

Jeanne DeQuine is a Miami freelance writer whose pieces on Miami and Latin America have appeared in Time, Newsweek, People, and other publications. She holds master's degrees from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and FIU's Creative Writing Program. She has taught writing at UM, FIU, and MDC.
