Amy Lou Jenkins and aspiring writers,
I took a week long summer writing class with Amy Lou, called Write by the Lake (about in 2016). It gave me clear guidance, encouragement and others to share our writing in a safe environment. Ultimately I ended up with the essay, Electing to Love in the published anthology: Corners-Voices on Change. I had a desire to write that essay but needed to voice it with Amy Lou. The book is varied in it’s honest voices.
I am excited, and writing for the anthology on Aging. I appreciate the provided instructions for formatting.
Also I’ve ordered the guide for Write A Gift.
I look forward to ideas; and then tonuse my own words.
