Student Feedback for Laura
Laura I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for everything. I learned so much and will continue my writing path, and your course lead the way. So grateful to you.
It was so incredible taking your class and getting the chance to meet you. My time with you has been beyond inspiring, informative, and a lot of fun! I appreciate all the feedback and insight you shared and can’t wait to read your next book.
I am buzzing from your class, so motivated to push my writing project forward. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your time and wisdom with us.
The line you shared that did it for me was: “Some people have a story to tell, and others are born to write.” That liberated me from thinking about my life as one big crazy chunk into a lot of smaller unified, digestible chunks that have specific unifying themes and containers.
It would be a joy to get to take your class again. Thank you for your very even and fair teaching / leading approach – I know for me it really ignites creativity and not all the self-doubt that so often can come with it.
Laura, thank you for listening to our stories and finding unique ways to help us shape our narrative. You gave us great structures for our writing.
