Harlan certainly has the expertise and savvy when it comes to writing a thriller novel. I enjoyed this course for the first few modules. I found some of the later ones were not as intensive and focused too much on Lee's works, without going into any real depth in his writing process, let alone additional expansion on the craft. I found his interview with his agent a little self-serving and there was very little to learn in such modules - which focused on his works.

Harlan Coben presents his thoughts and experiences on writing with such a no nonsense practical approach. He appeals to my sense of the reality in what it means to write. His enthusiasm and love for what he does is inspiring. He words of encouragement were energizing. His sense of humor and his passion enlightened me. I appreciate his earthiness. His joyous spirit with that city instinct brought me out of a slump.I am a city person and love books, thus his whole persona was totally appreciated. My creative spirit was lifted.

I've been watching all of the writing courses and I love how each writer has a different take on the essentials. Every writer has been upbeat and positive, while still imparting how tough the writing life is. I enjoyed Harlan Coben's course because of his energy and his 'NY' attitude (even tho he's from NJ). He made it particularly clear how much he draws from the personal aspects of his life. It was interesting to see how he takes disparate plot lines and blends them together.

I've taken quite a lot of courses by different authors, just because I enjoy learning and I'm always curious to see whether the course can bring me something new. Lately, most courses haven't brought me anything new, because I've already heard it all. But Coben's perspective on certain aspects of writing have been eye-opening to me, specifically the one on description. I learned something new after all. Thank you!
