Blogging as art
Forget the quaint little diary you kept as a child … the one with the lock and key. Blogging is the new diary and, to some, it’s an art. In Focus on the Masters’ new class, “Blogging as an Art Form: Creative Writing and the Personal Narrative” ($30) you will learn how to create an online journal and share your interests, thoughts and passions in an engaging style that will entice readers. If you can send e-mail, you can blog! Students can bring their own laptops to work on. The class takes place on Sept. 23, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Focus on the Masters, 1141 E. Main St., Ventura. Call 653-2501 or visit www.focusonthemasters.org.
