I am absolutely grateful I took this class. Julie gave a wonderful presentation on what were some of the issues in writing. Before, this class, I was almost for certain that a great/good writer just had words flowing out them. I learned that writing is a development process. I need to practice and practice. I even got inspired to write down some lines. Thank you, Julie.
