    Help to Get My Writing Habits Re-kindled

    5.0

    This course served as a good reminder to re-develop writing habits. I have a masters degree in English/Writing. Before the pandemic, I mostly ran around in the corporate world using writing skills limited to serving the corporation – no real meaning in that. When the pandemic gave me a chance to take a breather, I decided I was wasting my time and skill, making some really rich guy, richer. I decided I’d write for meaning. By then, however, my drive to write everyday and my confidence in real creative communication was flat-lining. The exercises and instruction in this course reminded me of ideas for how to get back on track. With the help of this course, my writing habits can be rekindled simply using the exercises prescribed.

    Learning Something New

    5.0

    I’ve been looking for a creative outlet lately and decided to go for it (writing), but I wanted to learn along the way.
    This course offered insight I hadn’t thought of and has challenged me to have fun and not pressure myself to be perfect, but to grow and adapt.
    If you want a quick class with lots of good pointers and tips- this is it!
