In this Six Lesson course you will discover why many people write and your own motivations to write; which will assist you in getting clear on your ideas moving forward. Learning how to conduct research, create outlines, writing plans and goal setting; all serve to provide a solid foundation for your writing journey. There is a short homework assignment at the end of each video where you are encouraged to apply the tools and tips outlined. There is also a downloadable Power Point presentation for all lessons which compliment the lectures. Throughout the course I mention an Online Writing Workshop Companion, this tool is not required to successfully complete the course. However, if you would like to use it, it is available on Amazon, just search my name (don't forget the apostrophe).
