The best way to enhance your writing is by practice, practice and more practice. Blogs follow a theme usually and journals are ways to put our random thoughts on paper (or in text). Having an online journal with personalized security settings allows us to write whatever our hearts desire without worrying about what our audience might think. I found this site a great blend of personalized journaling and social networking. Below is their description of the site: LiveJournal is a vibrant global social media platform where users share common passions and interests. With hundreds of communities built around popular interests, like entertainment, celebrity gossip, music, food, travel, fashion, parenting, pets, and more, LiveJournal users express themselves through creative journaling and lively commentary.

Squidoo. The popular (free) site for creating single webpages on your interests and recommendations. Even earn money for charity or yourself. As I'm finding that blogging on my wordpress blog can be daunting at times, this is way to write about anything and have fun and complete freedom. I'm having a blast just getting my random thoughts out there in short spurts. Plus it gives you great practice and can segway into a great blog post for your Wordpress or Blogger blog.

This is the most comprehensive travel writing program I have found online. It's very affordable ($350) for a 12 week intensive course with a great community of fellow students and alumni. I plan to complete this program very soon. They also have travel photography and travel film making courses.

Often I find myself questioning why journalist choose to write articles knowing that the information will bring harm to those currently in the military. My belief on this vacillates with each story.

Embracing social media for radio stations - 1 views

This was a crucial idea as social media was developing when I was in radio years ago. I'd say it's even more crucial now to stay connected to listeners as audiences shrink and splinter!
