Anne Remmel, who has just launched her first book, primarily shared her writing experience in the workshops, where we learned how to kickstart our own writing projects and conquer obstacles, find our roots, and do research. Anne gave us tips on how to cultivate self-discipline and find a suitable form of expression for ourselves.
