I needed a reminder of a few of the things mentioned in the course, but the most important one is to keep on writing even if just for yourself. And the confirmation of pen and paper being the right tools is what did it for me. Since my job is to type away on a laptop all day, I cannot sit and write on my laptop any longer, and not when it should be my inspiration leaking on the page. I did not get to writing right away of course, but there is a project I have been wanting to finish for more than a decade now.

By Christine Müller on 12/18/2020

This course is fitting when starting to write and not really knowing how to start or just wanting ideas of how to structure your writing. It gives good tips and the video is clear. What I miss however, is a way to add my work to the Q and A section and receive feedback. I have done this but no feedback is ever offered, either from the author of the course or other students.

Yes

By Zha Servidad on 10/12/2020

This course covered all the basics. The pace is slower than I expected and some of the topics felt short or abrupt. But this is a great starting point for anyone who really wants to start writing.

By Diya Singh on 10/10/2020

it is a whole new experience as this is the first time i've ever taken an online course, so yeah I'm settling with it and it seems pretty good. thank you.

By Kelly A. Schommer on 9/24/2020

This course, so far, is a great match for me. The instructor is easy to understand and making some very doable suggestions. I have trouble with focusing and these tips will help me to write with confidence. I'm very excited!

By Annemarie Duperouzel on 9/24/2020

Very simple and easy to follow, I especially liked your little note for working mums to have their time, you really do understand what it's like to be a parent. Thanks for taking the time to put this together

By Jiji Varghese on 9/21/2020

yes, great course it does match my interests. thank you

By Lindsay Treasure on 9/17/2020

I had previously purchased longer courses but found I was procrastinating and needed to get back to basics. This course reminded me to think about writing as a fun, creative pursuit and not to put so much pressure on the finished article (I am perfectionist in the worst of ways!). Tracey's course has reminded me to have fun and given useful pointers to help release any creative blockages along the way.

By Jessica Loschky on 9/6/2020

I find this helpful and appreciate your teaching style :). Thank you

By Almunther on 8/27/2020

By Cheryl Church on 8/22/2020

So, far I am getting a lot of ideas to start writing again.
