Zoom Interview


🎙

This morning I was interviewed by Rose Cushing on her Carolina Writers Speak podcast. Although I flubbed some parts in it, those instances will get edited out (hopefully). I will update my readers when the interview becomes available (roughly three weeks from now). I'll add a link to it on various social media.

In my first podcast with Rose (two years ago), I was too jittery to speak fluently. There were plenty of "Ers" and "Ums." Although I knew the topic for discussion was my beloved polydactyl cat, Liberty, I was too new at being a published author to overcome my nerves. 

Once the new interview is aired, I'll see if my speaking style has improved over the last two years. This time around, I felt comfortable talking about myself and my books. That may be due to these facts:

  1. Since reaching the ripe old age of 71, I have matured (somewhat).
    • Some may find this to be debatable.
  2. I was speaking with an old friend.
    • But I'm still older than Rose.
  3. This interview was held on Zoom. Egad! How will I look?
    • Rose assured me that it would be a voice recording only.
  4. One of us was still wearing her jammies. 
    • Which successfully broke through my bundle of nerves.
