The interview was conducted in 2014, and in this clip the interviewee is responding to the question 'Regardless of your plans, will this course or the writing in it remain with you? If so, how?'Brief excerpt from interview: Yeah I think so. it was such a pivotal course for me . . . it was one of my favorite courses I’ve taken so far mainly because of the way I felt afterwards . . . I felt like I improved a lot as a writer, I gained a huge understanding of planning, I have a greater understanding of myself and my interests and things I can pursue. Generally, it was like going to the gym for a workout and coming back feeling stronger – and you feel good about that. I want to convey to students– or anyone – that courses like this are really invaluable
