This page gives you access to the lessons and the research page. Please bookmark this page.
There are NO links here from the rest of the website.

To save you from having to go page-hopping, here is your materials list again. You need some paper and a writing implement. I recommend a really cheap spiral-bound notebook. My favorite at the moment are the 70-page one-subject notebooks you can get for ten cents each during back-to-school sales.

For your writing implement, grab either a pencil or a ball-point pen, whichever you prefer. Your entire set of course materials should be obtainable for less than $3.00. You are also welcome to use a computer.

Work through each lesson in the grid below at your own pace. The link to this page is good indefinitely.

Think of it as a college class. You are my virtual student; each lesson is the lecture. You may take notes if you'd like, in your notebook. At the end of each lesson is an assignment. Your assignments should be written in your notebook. By the time you finish working through this course, you will be ready to write a novel.

Feel free to contact me if the assignment doesn't seem clear. My email address is anne@am-jenner.com. I love to hear from my students. Thanks for joining me in this journey of self-discovery. Let's get started!
