thanks for updating us on your writing class experience. I feel like they can be very yes or meh when it comes to learning experience. Not every writer is meant to be a writing teacher. Do you think you will try another class?

Hi! I think I will but definitely about a different topic. I’d be really interested to dive specifically into characters

Absolutely loved reading your thought process during the course! Was so great to spontaneously start it together - I will remember it for the rest of my life. 🥹

You’re so right about how incredible Ross’ mind is. I was the same in constantly thinking ‘how did I not realize I needed to ask myself these questions?!’ - It looks like we both gained so much insight into ourselves as writers and the stories we want to write in general. 🩵✨

It sounds like your first writing class was an incredible experience -- it's so amazing to read about how inspired you were to write and continue working on your book. I haven't read anything by Rebecca Ross, although Divine Rivals is on my TBR, but she sounds like a super inspirational writer! 🤎

Sounds like a great writing class. I have one of Rebecca's books but I haven't read it. I'll move it to the top of my TBR pile. And I'm happy with links to Bookshop or Amazon, but I'm also happy to stay away from Goodreads. Not my favorite place at all.

Thanks for letting me know!! I’d rather not use Goodreads, so I might see how bookshop and Amazon go to see if one works better!
