Podcasting


As I've mentioned before I'm aware that I need to rest my eyes so I am now getting into podcasting.  Also, I think it will great to talk to different people.  It will be a two way thing, I'll be able to help them to reach out to people, letting them know about what they are doing.  For me it will be a way to escape the limitations of lockdown and get to talk to a great bunch of people. 

In the coming weeks I have podcasts lined up where I chat to a volunteer, a soprano singer who is also a professional music/vocal teacher, an organiser who has brought together local people/ artists/ filmmakers/ historians and built environment specialists through events.  A poet and fine artist and many more.

You might be thinking, where have I heard of Family Scribbles before?  Mike was very kind to give an illustration of a very wonderful person who has become known as Colin the Clapper.  He handed Colin the illustration as a thank you, Mike had been jogging past Colin most mornings as he stood on the roundabout near Basildon Hospital clapping all the NHS staff as they went to work.  You can read a bit more about this here . Colin Wilkinson started paying tribute to the NHS staff on the 25th April 2020.  When he had done it for forty days he made the national newspapers when he was ...

Sylvia Kent’s Ten Top Tips for Writing and Promoting a Book

In her previous career Sylvia Kent had worked on typing the parliamentary debates for both Hansard offices (Lords and Commons) in Westminster for 26 years. In 1992 Sylvia helped start the Brentwood University of the Third Age (U3A).  She was asked to start a gardening group which she organised for several years from her Brentwood home.  This was followed by running a home-made wine group then a memoir-writing course.  Sylvia explains, "When I joined the U3A I met a former journalist who had worked for The Times who ran a group to get members writing professionally.  She suggested we should "write what we know" which sounds like a cliché.  I was then making wine so I sent an article to The Lady magazine which described the basics of how to make a simple gallon of apple wine.  This was published and led to other freelance work for other journals." Sylvia is currently a vice-president and archivist for the Society of Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ) and w...
