Particularly beneficial look ahead to coming back again.
I am looking for creative writing training(novel writing), cause you can only teach yourself so much until you need outside help!. . Has anyone had any positive experience with such a service that they would recommend?.
I really wish I could help but I have never written a novel, I would suggest trying some community colleges. Many teach fiction writing. Good luck. I would also pray that God would open up an opportunity for you.
