Adventures in Podcasting

Podcasting is an adventure, peppered with challenges along the way, but full of unexpected rewards. Pilar has been podcasting since 2014 and is now ready to help others along the way.

This show has some solo shows and some guest interviews - and a whole month of NaPodPoMo episodes.

Join Pilar's little podcasting corner, sometimes on her own, sometimes with guests, from where she can share what's she's learned (and is still learning) about podcasting and through that, about herself.

Ep 65 Memoir-style vs How To when writing books

November 27, 2023 • Episode 65

On the 27th day of NaPodPoMo, Pilar would like to share her thoughts about why she needs to refocus her writing.

She's realised she's not a persuader - she prefers to tell her story and share her thoughts, and let you decide what to do with the information.

That's probably why The A to Z of Spanish Culture has been her most popular book - most of it is about her own experience, with other information of course.

In trying to do both a memoir and a how to book that people want to buy, she's doing neither!
Except now she's writing with chatGPT. And she can write a How To book with the bot, and a more memoir book on her own. (Of course, she does have a memoir out there already, Hi I'm Here for a Recording.)

Remember Steph Fuccio and I are going live to share our NaPodPoMo lessons on 30 November at 7pm UK time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsz9zb9MC4Y
