Just a little note to tell you how much Carrie and I enjoyed Elaine&#8217;s &#8220;Busting through Writer&#8217;s Block&#8221; class on Saturday. She is excellent and the group was fantastic.

Josh Mohr manages to give super-supportive enthusiastic encouragement and precise, practical, advice. The double word score!
