Eileen Obser, the author of "Three Rooms, Shared Bath: A Landlady in the Hamptons," is offering a spring writing workshop at her house on Cedar Street, starting on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. and running for eight sessions. The focus is on memoir and personal essay. More information and registration are at 631-324-6325.
