When I initially signed up to join this writing class, I immediately responded enthusiastically, "Yes!" However, as the days went by, doubts crept in. Could I do this? Did I possess the skills to publish my words? Was I willing to take the risk? Despite these uncertainties, I showed up when the first day of the workshop arrived. And I kept showing up. Thanks to the workshops and the personal one-on-one sessions with Charmaine Shettlesworth, I felt my confidence in myself and my writing rekindle. Charmaine stood by my side, offering support through phone calls and text messages and keeping me focused and motivated. Whenever I had a question, she was there to provide guidance. This experience was truly transformative, and I'm immensely grateful for everything she taught me. Thanks to her mentorship, I've published my first book of poetry, available for sale on Amazon! I couldn't have achieved this without her help and guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend this writing course to anyone aspiring to become an author. You won't regret it!
