What on earth is a Word Portrait then? Tony who is the subject of the interview of this Podcast, BravaChat Podcast 08, makes word portraits, a book which is the life story of a customer as collected by a series of interviews. Tony listens to your story and turns it into a book. Essentially he is a ghost writer, but not at all scary.

Tony also talks about what it is like to move from England to live in Catalonia with his Catalan wife. He has been here for three or four years and for one of the years had work at Girona University. Tony uses his writing knowledge and skills to write short stories  and novels. There are many competitions available for writers and it is a good way to help push past writers block by giving a goal to aim for and kind of helps makes the writing happen.

Did you know you can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes and each time I put up a new podcast it will come to you automatically. Even though you go through the iTunes Store there is no charge to get the Podcast.

You could even go one stage further and subscribe to the Podcasts’ RSS feed. All you have to do is to use a feed reader. I like the Netvibes RSS feed reader and I have set it as my home page in my browser. I have quite a few web sites that I subscribe to and I save myself loads of time by not having to go to a site and find that it is the same as the last time I looked. I will post up a video soon which shows you how to use RSS. I may even do one which will show you how to subscribe in iTuners.
