Excellent class!
this course cleared my doubts and threw light on certain aspects of writing a novel. It will indeed be helpful to me.
I have a few story ideas for short stories or novels, but didn't know exactly how to start. There is a myriad of sources out there (Pinterest, the faithful rabbit hole), but this is a very good course to start out with. It's relatively short, but clear throughout each video.
This is still early on but so far I sense that I am going to enjoy the course and learn lots from it as I embark upon writing my life story. I had already bought Scrivener but now I hear that this software will only get in my way. I rather intuited that but didn't give it a second thought until I just heard that now. I think I could set up an outline using Word. Maybe I'll try that and abandon Scrivener. Just wasted some $$$ though.
So far it doesn't seem like I am learning a lot. Hopefully it will pick up. This picked up nicely particularly the discussions on Structuring and then dialogue.
Before taking the course, I just wrote things without going anywhere.
Now after taking the class thus far, I wrote with a plan, and with an end in mind.
this course was just what i was looking for to help me with writing my 1st novel, thanks.
I loved this introduction to writing. It gave me some good groundwork to start with and I am very excited to continue my writing journey. Steve is easy to follow and learn from.

It was interesting and I did learn new things but I don't think it was the best course for me.
