“Thank you so much for putting together this writing course. It was of good value to me as it got me started thinking more deeply about my characters. I don’t have a lot of time to write, working two jobs, but I am doing the ten-minute exercise with each lesson, and each evening, trying to get in the habit of sitting myself down to write. I would recommend the course to anyone.”
