Writer discovery

This week in one of my many newsletter subscriptions I discovered a very cool link:

Barbara Abercrombie teaches in the Writers program at UCLA Extension, and has published a variety of books and articles. I am reading her current book, "Courage and Craft" which is great so far. She gives little assignments and prompts as well as covering various different forms like essays, fiction, poetry, etc. I already love it and can relate to her.

From Chapter 1- Getting Started:
"I always think what I'm writing in my journal is boring. Even if something happens, I think the way I write about it isn't doing the event justice. But I know from experience that I'll reread what I've written in a few months or years and be surprised by the fact that it isn't boring at all."
