"But, my biggest win of all is that I built the confidence to call myself a writer."
I have always admired those who can take people on a journey with their written words, and simply thought that I just didn’t have it in me. I mentioned to others that I was a marketer who could write content, but that I definitely was not a writer. Then Growclass launched Writer’s Circle. And, of course I jumped in with both feet. On the first day of class, she taught us that writing is not a skill we are born with, but instead a muscle we grow and nurture through practice. Over the course of four weeks, I learned about storytelling, editing, and building an audience. I also found my writing voice, and proceeded to co-write a fricking ebook!
"The Writer's Circle was a great way to focus on my writing and support other writer's on their journey."
I was very excited when Growclass launched Writer's Circle and loved the idea of working alongside others in sharpening my writing skills. I learned how to find my voice, tell a story, edit purposefully and grow an audience.
