  I'm an actor who's dabbled in writing in the past and is looking to hone those skills. 

  Location: California

  Standard Set Answer:

  I've been interested in and enjoyed writing for most of my life, but have had very little formal training. Most of the training I have had has been oriented toward the education process -- I can write a mean five paragraph essay -- and not toward creative writing, which is where my interests now lie. This class is obviously not a creative writing class, but it's a kind of writing I haven't done, and as I embark down this path, I'd like to have as many tools at my desposal as I can.

  By participating, I hope to get a better understanding of what news writing entails, and to get some writing done.

  At the moment I'm not interested in helping with course organization. This is my first P2PU course, and I'd like to participate solely from the student side for now. Perhaps down the road I'll venture into organization as well.
