For more about “Write About Your Life.”
Laynie Tzena has been a wonderful writing teacher for me: encouraging, enthusiastic, never at a loss for ideas on how to illustrate a point, always finding and emphasizing the strengths in my efforts. Before I knew what had hit me, I had several embryo pieces I was working on. For a person who had scarcely written anything but letters and a high school humor column, this is heady stuff. Laynie’s eye and ear are sharp, and she has taught me to trust my own. She has opened up an entirely new world to me, for which I shall always be grateful.
