Follow a Whim! Write a Novel!

It is nearly November, which means NanoWrimo is almost upon us! What is NanoWrimo you ask? Oh, only the best month for a writer to be alive! National Novel Writing Month, which just so happens to be November, gives writers all over the globe motivation and inspiration to write. The goal of the NanoWrimo site is to write 50,000 words in one month, however everyone should consider it a win if they write anything that they wouldn't have otherwise.

So many think it is crazy to attempt something like this, since they see it as a waste of time. Maybe you are an armature, at no one thinks you could ever get anywhere with what you've written.

Well those of us affiliated with the Whimsical Workshop try every year, put forth our best effort, have failed and succeeded, and plan to do the same this year! Never give up on your dream, go forward with your works, and everything will work out.

We look forward to what the next month holds, and wish everyone happy writing!

A One Stop Podcast Maker

Have you ever wanted to make a podcast? It has always been something that intrigued me, but I never thought I could keep up on it, or the fears of "what if people hate my voice" pushed me away from attempting. A couple days ago, even if I decided to pursue it no further, I decided to see if I could easily make a podcast, with no prior experience or knowledge. I have tried to do this with vlogging software before, but for a novice, I choose not to share simply based off of the utter failure it turned out to be. The vlogging software took hours to figure out (at least for me), and I never got anything done. Well, I am happy to say this is not the case when making a podcast! I found the easiest platform there is, that it took literally one extra minute to put together after I recorded what I was going to say, and it was off. Then, the app took care of the rest for me, and it works on distributing your podcast under your name to a bunch of other platforms such as Apple's ...

Baking? ASMR?

I am someone who uses some very basic ASMR videos to fall asleep at least twice to three times a week. I usually go towards some sort of learning a language video, guided meditation, or just some nice music, but I have stumbled across a different kind of ASMR video that I absolutely love! Cooking and baking ASMR is not only very relaxing, it gives you great ideas for new foods to create! I watch this during the day, which is very calming, and gives you a pit of perspective on where you are right at that moment. You have the ability to choose what you do, when you do it. If you want to make some wacky muffin, or create your own flavor of bubble tea, do it! Here are my favorite channels for this sort of video: Cooking Tree Peaceful Cuisine

Can one learn all the languages?

Language is something that I think we all take for granted. We speak and communicate. However, what comes out of our mouths has a lot to do with the culture we were raised in. This is the time of constant networking, and connecting across the globe for both personal reasons and business. Study abroad programs have become more and more popular, and many non-English speaking nations are now teaching their youth English in hopes to bridge the gap. That works for the basic needs of communication, but there is so much more to learning a language. Values, ideals, history: all of these are intertwined into the fabric of a languages grammar, spelling, or even their different vocabulary. So how does one learn a different language? Well, I hope to one day be a hyperpolyglot, but I am far from that right now. I find that different methods work for different people, and maybe you will learn one language better one way, and a different language better a different way. Nonetheless, here are the ...
