It’s taken about four months of full-on work to get this website up and running. I’ve been enthusiastic, and crazed with frustration, joyful, and from time to time, so frustrated I thought I’d explode. But here you have it - a basic creative writing course that I’ve designed from the workshop I developed and teach at a local cancer support center.

It occurred to me one day, sitting at our table at the cancer center with only four of the usual nine participants, that it might be a good idea to create a course accessible to everyone, whether they are able (or well enough) to attend a remote class or not. Thus, the birth of this website and self-paced course.

Anyone can do this! From an eager adolescent to an octogenarian with a lifetime of stories - all are welcome and encouraged. Of course, this isn’t the usual classroom setting, but the modules are sequential and easy to follow. As well, I’m available via the Contact form to help in any way I can. I love to hear about your successes, and I’ll do my best to assist in untangling writing dilemmas and blocks.

This first blog entry is just an introduction to the course. I’ll add posts weekly on topics germane to your writing journey and on just about anything else that pops into my head.

I’m so excited to be tagging along on your writing adventure. Now, “let’s get this party started!”
