I highly recommend this process to any writer. James W. I've been to other writing courses and left feeling frustrated and discouraged and wondering, 'why did I ever think I could be a writer?' But I left this course on your five-step process with the tools and strategies you taught us and with this renewed and confident feeling that I can do this! That for me was a huge break-through.
