Michaelbrent's course on story and the art and craft of writing was fantastic! I particularly enjoyed the sections on the myth of writer's block and on marketing. Also of note was Michaelbrent's ability to deliver the course - I could tell by the way he naturally delivered his message that he really knew his stuff. Well done, Mr. Collings!
