Paging through the ideas, details and plot twists she imagined, I realized something that inspired me tremendously\u2014at any age, each person has a story to tell. <\/p>\n<p>I brought this mindset to a creative writing course I recently taught at my town\u2019s Senior Center. Our group was small, just four students, but over the course of six weeks, we explored character development, plot outlining, descriptive imagery and editing techniques. The students were a teacher\u2019s dream\u2014positive, respectful, engaged and receptive to feedback. They also did their homework without fail.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/books\/a-guideposts-authors-writing-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Read More: A Guideposts Author&#8217;s Writing Life<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One student was working on a travel memoir.

Each was, in one way or another, exploring the line between truth and fiction, memory and creative invention.<\/p>\n<p>This is important work for older adults\u2014research tells us creative pursuits positively impact aging adults in areas ranging from cognitive function to happiness. Organizations like The National Center for Creative Aging coordinate creative programs for seniors nationally, but most towns offer creative writing, dance, music or art programs through senior centers, libraries and community centers.<\/p>\n<p>In the last session of my writing course, I shared a quote from Virginia Woolf: \u201cEvery secret of a writer\u2019s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.\u201d In other words, every story written with attention and integrity is a \u201ctrue\u201d story in that it reflects the experiences and perspectives of the writer.<\/p>\n<p>This applies to my grandmother\u2019s historical fiction draft as much as it does to my student\u2019s memoir.
