Connie Flynn's class on dialogue was a toughie for me. I had thought I had a good grip on riveting dialogue, but I was so wrong. Connie's a fantastic teacher and even she said I was fighting her every inch of the way in her assignments. Not meaning that I was combative or rude, but that I couldn't loosen up enough to simply do what she asked me to. Finally in the last assignment, I let go and wrote two pages of pure dialogue with no tags and had the characters tell the plot of the story in conversation only. I had never done this before! I was so proud of myself and felt so EMPOWERED. It's as if Connie had thrown me in the lake, and I sure as hell learned how to swim in that last assignment. She was so patient with me. Her compliments at the end were manna from heaven. I've been bragging on her ever since. Thanks, Connie, for putting up with me in class. And thanks, SavvyAuthors, for introducing me to Connie. Since joining Savvy a year ago this October, I have learned so much.

Connie's comments and suggestions always bring out the best in my writing.

Another great class. Love the teacher's
lessons and critiques.

Instructor interaction is beneficial and practical. Class homework is directly related to our own story.
