Writing can be hard work. You know what you want to say, but when you try to write down your ideas, your brain starts to hurt. Sometimes you don't know how to get started, or you get stuck. Perhaps you've toiled away, trying to capture your idea, only to realize your paragraph seems horribly dull. Most writers wrestle with these issues but learn ways to make the writing process less painful. I can help you pick up a few tricks of the trade, so you too don't have to suffer (as much). Learn how to take notes, make outlines, give presentations, craft clear sentences, compose focused paragraphs, draft stories and essays, and edit. Next time you are faced with a writing assignment, you’ll know the little steps you need to make for the task to be much more manageable. -- Please see the listings for my online classes at Tumbleweed Writers: How to Be a Writer How to Be a Book Dragon Essay Writing 101 Keeping a Commonplace Book

I was born and raised in Canada, therefore am a native English speaker, and also have a Bachelor of Medical Science, so I can also help with technical and scientific language.
