I've begun working on my outline for a creative writing class. I'm vaguely apprehensive about it but I honestly do feel that the lessons that I've learned over the years are valuable ones and I really do want to pass them on to others. I'm aiming for a 8 week course through March and April.... Continue Reading →
Deep dive
