Recently Acquired: Statement of Accomplishment! "Crafting an Effective Writer: Tools of the Trade"

Many thanks to Lorrie Ross, Lawrence (Larry) Barkley, Ted Blake and the rest of the "Crafting an Effective Writer: Tools of the Trade" staff! From Monday, May 13 through Sunday, June 16, I, along with tens of thousands of others worldwide, devoured the knowledge of Coursera's five-week long CRAFTING AN EFFECTIVE WRITER: TOOLS OF THE TRADE course that was taught online out of Mt. San Jacinto College, California (#MOOC).

Dove deep into parts of speech
and sentence structure, plus wrote assignments for peer review and took quizzes. Final grade: 100.2%!

What sort of geek would you describe yourself as?

Phish freak. Word nerd. Flyers fan. Shows I dig on: Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. Appa, yip yip! Before our Q&A, Geekadelphia's Chris Urie generously writes: "To me, all of Siegell’s work rings true to that of his jam band punk personality. And although his poems are heavily visual, to get the full effect, you’ll need to see him give a live reading. It’s as electrifying as going to see your favorite band in concert."

Many thanks to Chris & Geekadelphia.com! Tremendously honored!
