I needed something to re-vamp and refresh my writing, and this course gave practical exercises that forced me to actually try! The lectures are short, but each gives an exercise to practice, which I thought was great. I started free-writing, using her different ideas, every day. I definitely appreciated this course!

I highly recommend this course. I was a published journalist until about ten years ago when I experienced writer's block and stopped writing. I've been writing at least 20 minutes per day since the start of this course and am well on my well to starting a blog and getting back in the game!
