Inspiration for Career Building in a Video

Dear Sharing with Writers Subscribers and Visitors:

I am including this video because it is inspirational and because I believe in UCLA's Extension program, particularly its Writers' Program where I learned to polish my fiction skills after a career as a journalist. (Many of us writers don't realize that each new genre we try requires a whole new skill set.)

I have been teaching at UCLA Extension for several years now. It's a way to pass on the joy that writing has brought to me. If you are interested in my next one-day seminar on August 7th, please let me know at HoJoNews@aol.com. Or just go to UCLA Extension and sign up for the class.

Here is a video that came to me by e-mail. I love the little anecdotes about how furthering our educations can make such a difference in our lives:
