Tomorrow night at 8:30pm EST yours truly will be appearing live on blog talk radio. One of my former guests Renee Bernard has graciously invited me to be on her show, the Romance Bookmark. To say I’m nervous would be an understatement – I’m terrified. I really shouldn’t be. I mean how many people will really hear it? Not many, so why the fear? First of all I’m not really that interesting. I’m just an average mom doing her average thing. I wake up early, answer my emails, have a coffee, workout and then get the kids ready for school. When the kids are at school I write. Deciding what to make for dinner is the hardest choice I have to make. So what are we going to talk about for 15 minutes? Not much. The other reason I’m so scared is because …I’m an idiot. Seriously, in real life I’m always saying the wrong thing. Hiding in my little house and not going out into the big wide world is safest for all concerned. So why did I agree to do the radio show? Because like I said… I’m an idiot. When my characters say the wrong thing, which happens more than you know, I edit and then I edit again. Unfortunately there’s no editing on live radio. So tomorrow night for better or worse I will join the fabulous Renee Bernard on the Romance Bookmark. The show is normally full of laughter and fun, and in my case foolishness. I hope you can join us. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/circle-of-seven For those of you who can’t join us live I will put the podcast link on my appearances page – even if it’s really bad. 4/20/2015 03:30:26 am
Marlow, I'm an idiot too! I think we should start a support group for socially inept writers. :) Can't wait to hear you tomorrow night. No pressure!

LOL. Tomorrow night at 8:30 EST there might be 15 minutes of dead air.

Do what I do when I have to give a speech or a class. Pretend to be an out-going, intelligent adult. It's kind of like acting. Oh, and throw out the titles of your books as much as possible. Good luck. We're all behind you...far behind you in our introverted way.

Haha. I like the far behind you comment. 4/20/2015 06:43:01 am
I did a Blog Talk Radio thing a couple of months ago and I was as scared spitless as you are. I babbled on for fifteen minutes; don't ask me what I talked about. I think it was my latest release. Fortunately, I doubt many were listening. Even my dog ignored me!

I mean podcast. (See what I mean about editing.) 4/21/2015 01:52:14 am
Marlow, if you're a published writer, you must have some confidence. Pull down deep and just have fun.
