[quote=Anonymous][quote=MayBug]Thank you for your thoughtful responses and suggestions!

[b]To the anonymous user with the MFA: [/b]Thank you for recommending the courses at Gotham Writers and UCLA Extension. At this point, I must confess that we don't live in the US. So, it is important for us to know if he could participate from anywhere. Anyway, we would keep in mind that the quality depends on the classmates. Do you think that this applies to every class?

@Zynoba: To be honest, I agree that the writing is something you don't forget. However, I think that after such a long time, he needs to get back into the routine. We will certainly investigate the possibilities of further learning centres, online classes, private lessons, and local literary meetings. The literary meetings would also allow him to engage with the community. But I wonder if he would get a lot of feedback there. For that, private lessons and online courses might be more useful. Have you any experience of this?

To the other anonymous author who has published books: Your advice to simply sit down and write makes perfect sense. The writing itself constitutes the key step. We will search for the books “Bird by Bird” and “The War of Art”. Would you say that these books help you to break through creative blocks and focus on the writing process?[/quote]

I'm this PP. I'm sure Gotham has international students. But you could easily contact them and ask. The only writing thing I've done internationally was in India, so on the tiny off chance you happen to be there, look at the Panchgani Writers' Retreat.

I'll second the recommendations for Bird by Bird and The War of Art. I actually don't love them, but both of them are very much loved by a lot of writers I know who are  much smarter than I am. Stephen King wrote a book called On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft which is also very beloved. [/quote]
