I have successfully completed an online course in Fiction Writing by Jerry Cleaver – writer, teacher and writing coach who created The Writers' Loft, Chicago's most successful independent writers' workshop for the last twenty years.
My varied experiences have given me deep insights into human nature as well as the tenacity, courage, fearlessness and restlessness to aim high. It has also imparted in me, an intimate understanding of the frailty of emotions and encouraged me to be an out -of –the- box thinker and push the limits of imagination, which is an essential trait for a fiction writer.
My work and experience has certainly sharpened my capacity to visualize and taught me to be a good listener along with being acutely aware of the environment around.
