STORY: Ovarian Rhapsody 5 Years Later: On Surviving Cancer — and a Pandemic
By Margit Detweiler
“I’m one of those pandemic-busy types — I had to stay productive and occupied, and writing is too much of a deep dive, a pause, an opening. I worry if I open too much I will fall right down deep in that hole. But here I am. Let’s fall.”

It’s the last night of our TueNighter “Art of Storytelling” course — even if you haven’t been participating (which members can always go back and watch), you won’t want to miss our final class as we share stories, spin a few yarns, tell tales.
