Take 100 personal objects and ask what are the things in your home that represent who you are and where you came from? A satin shoe, a travel trinket or a favorite rolling pin.

If you have wanted to write about your life but have not known how to start, Big Island author Nancee Pace Cline can show you a gentle, focused way to begin. Instead of writing your life story from one milestone to the next, Cline teaches you to tell your story as a history of your heart and hearth.
The Hawaii Community College instructor will conduct a creative nonfiction writing workshop from noon-4 p.m. Sept. 12 at Volcano Art Center. Class fee is $55 or $50 for VAC members.
Cline has a master’s in interdisciplinary humanities from California State University-Dominguez Hills.
She spent four years exploring archives and interviewing Hawaii residents for her book, “Queen Emma’s Church in Kealakekua, Crossroads of Culture.” In 2011, she received a publishing grant for this project from the Hawaii chapter of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
