Dear Patrick, Thank you for your level-headed guidance, patience, extraordinary insights and steadfast commitment to pursuing the creative process within every one of us. Since last November, when I first started attending Write Yourself Free, for the first time in my life, I feel like I have discovered the tools I need, crave really, to move forward with what I can now openly call my life's work. That's a big step. Hard for me to admit, let alone put into words.  Best regards, Kim lake

A few weeks ago, I joined a crowd of fellow-writers to hear Dr. Patrick McCord explain how our understanding of good films can improve our writing abilities.
Using segments of two movies as examples, Patrick clearly located the themes, linkages, sensations, and conflicts that lead to evocative story-telling and fully-developed characters-in film as well as in fiction. In just one fascinating and entertaining evening, Patrick McCord provided us with the unique tools and insights that are guaranteed to promote effective writing. I'm already seeing better things crop up in my writing-and-revision process, and I am so glad I didn't miss this class! --Janice Papolos Co-author, The Bipolar Child
