I've been out of the "writing life" for about 2 yrs now. Prior, I was writing, (journaling) almost daily, taking writing classes, online & on site, working on 2 "wanna be" novels. I've always found a peacefullness when I wrote. Always an introverted person growing up, I was better able to express myself through writing. The death of my mom 2yrs ago gave me "writers block." She always believed in me as a writer & made me feel as though I had potential. Since her death I have found it hard to get back to it. With this course & the help of everyone out there, I'm hoping to find that creative person again.
