Writing is not for wimps. It takes courage to put a little piece of yourself out there for someone else to potentially rip to shreds. It can be hard, it can be intimidating, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Not everyone is going to be the next J.K. Rowling or ick Riordan, but you can learn how to create solid, well-crafted essays and research papers.
I challenge you - pick up your pen, grab your keyboard, and discover the confidence and sense of accomplishment that can come from knowing that you can craft a quality piece of writing.
