    I am using my book "Miss Understood" on Amazon as reading material for this course. It is a very good example of creative writing where I applied many of the principles taught here in this course. Use it as a reference as you go through the material. You can find it on Amazon when you TYPE IN MY FULL NAME "Latanya Epiphany Richardson" and the book title on the Amazon or Amazon Prime search bar. It is available in both print and ebook. 

    Congratulations on taking this step to writing more creatively.
