“I have enjoyed the course. I have been very nervous about how to begin and this has really broken the ice for me. I have written far more than I would have thought possible in just a couple of hours. Planning how to build a character was a great way to find out not only about my character but what role he would have in the story. The scene writing just flowed from that. I now have some writing to jump off from!”
