Description

Blogging for Beginners This workshop's numbers are kept small so that participants get one-on-one coaching with Jane, an award-winning writer and former reporter for both the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star. Day 1 In this hands-on workshop, Jane will cover what makes a good blog good, and a bad blog not so hot. She'll briefly touch on the different kinds of blogs out there in the blogosphere, and help participants see where their blogs fit in (or stand out). She will identify mental blog blockers and inhibitors and how to deal with them. On Day One, participants will: Outline their brilliant idea, Craft a draft Blogging Plan, Write, and learn to manage their expectations to avoid discouragement They'll each go home with some writing homework that compels them to write a little (or a lot) every day. (Those participants who have already started a blog are invited to bring their work to the workshop for additional support, tips, and direction.) Day 2 On the second morning, Jane gives some tips on how to promote a blog, and also when to expect attention from readers other than their mom, colleagues, and their best friend. Attendees will write in pairs, offering one another constructive feedback and support. Each participant gets one-on-one time with Jane and leaves with an initial plan and their blog well underway.
