There was just enough "how to" in our discussions on how to publish and point of view, etc. Writing with so many gifted writers built my confidence and so freed me up to think less and write more... I plan on taking more of Peggy's workshops; she's a brilliant teacher.

Lyn Campbell, Kentucky
The door to writing opened one day and Lyn fell through, elated by whom she found there — herself! She has attended a ClarityWorks' retreat.
