Creative Writing Class

I'm taking an online creative writing class that is teaching me so much. I'm getting into writing stories of all kinds, and my poetry has improved greatly. The teacher there does not let us critique each others' work, only what we can say to inspire or encourage. There's a lot of talent out there. People have to find the time to write, that seems to be the biggest problem. She shows us how to put structure, texture and voice in our writing, and also how to revise it to make it sound much better. There are four parts to this class I'm taking, she has quite a few. It's called Writing the Wave and it comes in four eight week parts. I'm just about finished with three. I definitely want to finish it. All this knowledge I can take with me when I write in the future. All the ideas brainstormed in here with be books or parts of books in the future. This I'm really excited about!
