Patrick Barry has put together a terrific series of courses! Skills in the nuances of writing, organizing complex ideas, planning, how to get around 'blocks' and get started. Well worth it!

I expect more learning points in the seemingly most important course of this specialization while only learnt get started / get your 1st draft done / write before you're ready. Don't you think they are only repetitive?
