Steven King once said, "You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or despair ... Come to it any way but lightly."
Refresh your writing with a short story, and check out Writing and Reading Short Stories. This class focuses on the craft of the short story, which is explored through reading great short stories, writers speaking about writing, writing exercises, and conducting workshops on original stories.
Included is a set of helpful lecture notes, along with five examples of short stories written by students in the class.

"I've been out in the industry for ~20 years. Now I'm taking a graduate class in Image Processing.
There is so much math I cannot remember or never learned in the first place.
Your online resources let me dive into the advanced mathematics. Wonderful stuff. Thank you!"
