Cliff Hudder is a great teacher!

I'm taking a creative writing class at the local community college this semester. Only three sessions to go. Here's my take on the experience:

1. Assignments with deadlines spark creativity and zap the doldrums.
2. Getting to know other writers and routinely sitting around the critique table with them is yummy, yummy, yummy. (This I've known for a while, but fresh faces = increased inspiration - especially across generations!) Love it!!
3. The more I read good stuff, the more I want to write - so I write more. And then that amazing little cycle repeats. A class turns me into a writing machine!
4. Free critiques! Detailed edits from my teacher! Man it's the life. ☺

Can you tell this has been a very cool deal?

Try a class!

Hi Rhonda--
Your list makes so much sense. I find the same thing when I set a deadline and very specific goals for my writing.
Are you heading the Colorado Christian Writer's Conference in two weeks. I'll be there. Love to have lunch with you.
Keep up the God work,
Lori

Hi Lori,
Sorry so late in responding! :( Obviously, I missed the conference. I hope to go again though, and to see you there. You keep up the good work as well. I like your blog. Especially lovely photos. Love, Rhonda

Lucky you! finding the right teacher makes all the difference. It's a Joy to learn when your teacher puts you on a path and lets you discover the way.
