I have very grateful for thr opportunity to take this course. This course Creative Writing has broaded my horizon to see intricate aspects of reading and how writers can be influence and inspired by other piece of art.
Also, i now understand that a writer should not limit himself to just one genre rather should take the liberty to explore other genres and his ability to adapt to other writing genres and styles
There is so much to learn from another person's experience in writing. Your muse can be anything, just anything.
Lastly, a writer must have a keen eye and an open mind. -
