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 podcast, Overcast, Pocketcasts, and a many more. This makes it easier to get your content heard, because you don't have to juggle a million accounts, you just have one.

What is this magical app I speak of? None other than Anchor! You can add music, sound effects, intros, and there are ways to then interact with your audience with comments. You record each segment (between your different sound effects) where you can then trim it or decide if you want to add background music. The interface is super user friendly, making this ideal to a beginner who has no idea what they are doing (ahem, me).

Now, I will say having good content boosts up your ratings, which wasn't my intention for simply trying out the app, so my podcast episode isn't the best, but if you want to check it out, here it is!

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!

Try your hand at sewing! We sure have!

For the first 17 years of my life I had never sewn. It always seemed like the thing that people who had their life together did. My mother was never one to sew, which made the task of learning even more daunting, but eventually I decided to make my own choices! One week with a couple hours a week is all it took to get the basic skills to attempt most projects. Of course there are things I will never quite understand in difficult patterns, and that's fine. If you head to any craft store, I guarantee you there will be someone who understands what you need to find out. So where to start? Of course you can watch videos on YouTube, or check out classes in your local area, but I find the internet just as useful. For getting comfortable with the notion of sewing and tackling new projects, sites like Colette  seem very useful. Once you seem to get on a roll, you can find loads of patterns online like this or this .  Eventually you will feel you are in a place to experiment ...

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 ...
