How I did it: I took the online writer's class through the Writer's Studio in New York City, and it was amazing!  The level 1 teacher I had was Juliet Nienhaus, and she gave amazing, perceptive supportive criticisms that really helped me to pinpoint opportunities and weaknesses.  Through the eight weeks of the class you could really see others writing improve, and the format really helps to keep you motivated (you follow the styles of other writers by modeling one of their pieces).  I will totally continue on with the Writer's studio once I have more free time, it was the best online experience I've ever had! 

Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to try - I hadn't written in years, but the amazing writers on staff at the writer's studio were able to bring out the best in me!  YOU WILL BE A BETTER WRITER AFTER - I promise~
