Have you ever wished that you could tap into the knowledge and experience of a published writer and find out how they make a living by writing full time? Not just find out where they get their ideas, but have them teach you how you can find ideas that fit you. I would like to invite you to take a look at the writing course that I am currently enrolled in.

How to Think Sideways is a self-paced course by full-time author Holly Lisle, and for a limited time you can join me as one of her students. Enrollment will end at 9:00 a.m. on September 8th, and at just $47 this is not something you want to miss out on. I'll give you some of the basics, but I suggest you find out about the course for yourself by visiting http://howtothinksideways.com/members/?rid=405

I'm now in my sixth week as a student, and have already learned some very crucial survival skills, such as how to not only come up with ideas, but how to shape those ideas into stories that I can't wait to write, stories that I will still have a passion for even after they have been written and I am facing the dread stage of revision. And that is only one of the things I have discovered, perhaps the most important lesson was one that I learned in the first week. By the end of the first week of the course I understood not just what it was that was keeping me from my dreams of being a fantasy writer, but how to overcome those barriers and make my success a reality. And it is something that you too can learn.

The course includes:

- Monthly video that covers the month's main topic

- Weekly lessons with assignments

- Weekly technique demonstrations

- Monthly checklist of all steps to take

- A monthly Q&A made up of questions taken from the course forums

- Private workgroups (optional)

- Class discussion forum to interact with other students

As I said, I am a student and I would not be one if I did not truly believe in the course. And at $47, billed by the month, it is very economical, and if you decide that it is not for you all you need to do is cancel your enrollment. You will need to hurry and check it out, though, because enrollment for the How to Think Sideways course is only open until early in the morning of Monday, September 8th. Enroll now at http://howtothinksideways.com/members/?rid=405.

I suppose it is about time I started this forum off, huh? I've been busy, but I wanted to stop in while I was thinking about it and get a couple of things posted here. First off is a welcome to anyone that wanders in, I don't expect this place to be very active, but feel free to prove me wrong. It is primarily a place for me to discuss my stories and the world they are set in. I encourage feedback on my writing and will hopefully get some things up soon for you to offer feedback on.
