Self-improvement? New hobby? New Career? New words on the page, that&#8217;s it! My UBC Continuing Studies Courses\u00a0aimed at helping you be a better blogger, or getting you into the exciting field of food and travel writing, are set to start at the end of this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>You have three choices:<\/em><\/strong> Food and Travel Writing In-Person. Eight Monday nights starting January 26th. Or you can take this course online over the same time period. Each week you open up a module of new readings and assignments, with much personal interaction with me and your classmates through online forums. The third course is Creating and Sustaining Your Blog, also offered 100% online beginning the end of January.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The advantage of the online course<\/strong><\/em>s is that you don&#8217;t have to be in the same place at the same time for eight weeks in a row, which works better for some students. Others prefer the &#8216;face to face&#8217; aspect of the in-person class. Either way, I am &#8216;yours&#8217; for two months so you can use my knowledge in these fields to get you going or improve what you&#8217;re already doing. For more information or to register, you can find all the courses on <a href=\"https:\/\/cstudies.ubc.ca\/about-us\/our-instructors\/don-genova\" target=\"_blank\">my page<\/a> at the Continuing Studies website. And you can always contact me at don at don genova dot com. Hope to see you online or in-person very soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year. Step up.
