Back in April, I wrote a post about my first local TV interview. Several of you asked me if I was going to post it, and after a slight delay, and some editing, here it is if you’d like to see it. Now I realize I need media training and preparation. (I had no idea of the questions I would be asked ahead of time.)
Now talking about videos, Marla Miller, (author, blogger at Marketing the Muse, RN, Query letter expert and coach) started a wonderful concept for women over 45 called, “Women over 45 speak.” She is asking women over 45 to submit a video and a bio to her about “anything you want for 3 minutes. You can promote:
- yourself
- your business
- your cause
- even your grandkids if you want.
What I love about Marla, is her Gutsy attitude about women and aging. She says society expects women as they age to disappear, to go quietly, or to chase the anti-aging cream. You can listen to her video on this topic and learn more about submitting your own three-minute video.
Remember the post about: “Are you stuck in a rut, make a life list?” where I suggested you make a life list? Well Rob-bear, and others thought it would be a good idea if we shared for example, ten items on our life list, and I think that’s a brilliant idea.
I hope you share 10 items on your Life List on Thursday June 16th, so we can compare. I shall share mine.
Are you ready to make a 3-minute video? What would you like to talk about?
Great interview!
Still thinking about my life list…
Well for not being prepared you handled that BEAUTIFULLY. Well done.

I think you did a great job and stated your goals very well, especially not knowing the questions ahead of time.
I must be trying to get out of a rut since I'm off just now to meet a woman to help me prepare a new resume.
Thought you did very well in the interview. What makes you think you need to know more about media preparation? If I'd been asked whom I admired most, I'd have hesitated before answering, but you did straightaway. Only thing I didn't hear mentioned – or maybe I missed it – is the name of your book. Should have been there upfront.
Thanks for the Marla Miller video tip. As for my list, I've got one to send on Thursday.
That was a wonderful interview, I always like hearing you talk about your life and family. As you know my blogs are just for my entertainment and fun. But, I always enjoy reading your more serious blog.
@ladyfi
I hope you mention just a few ofthe items on your life list.
@Barbara
Thanks to your online interview on The Blogstress Network where you asked me who I think of as Gutsy Women, I was ready when asked that question again.
@Jeanie
I need to catch up. Why a new resume. Please
@Jeanie
I didn't finish writing to you. Please think about 10 things on your life list to share on Thursday. I'd like to see it.
@Penelope
I was lucky about the Gutsy Women I admire question. Barbara asked me that question in her interview and I remembered answering her.
Look forward to reading your list.

Great interview, Sonia; very well done! Totally awesome!
Three minute video. Hmmmm.
How about ten minutes live-to-air radio? The day Dr. Jack Kavorkian (Dr. Death) died in Michigan, local radio show here in River City contacted me, wanting me to do an interview about him and what he did. (There are lots of people who know I do work in medical ethics — human and animal.) So I did. On a couple of hours notice. It was good. I had fun, that the radio people were apparently happy.
Still haven't decided on a three minute video. Suggestions?
i think you did a great job in this interview – you're a natural, sonia!
wow, well done! You're really good, like pro!
I have to check what list you're talking about…
Wish that we had more time with each guest, changes in the works–you'll be invited back.
Charlie Redner, co-host The Write Now Show. You were great and gutsy.
@Gigi Ann
Thanks although I hope my blog posts aren't too serious. But you're right, I don't have jokes and quotes like you do.
@Rob-bear
Would love to hear your radio interview about Dr. Kavorkian. Perhaps you should post it on your blog one day. Anyway, since you're not female over 45, perhaps you do not qualify for Marla Miller's video posts. But you just gave me an idea. (A Gutsy one of course!)
@Amanda
I want to learn more and become super confident. Thanks Amanda.
@BLOGitse
Thanks. The list is the one where you chose 10 things big and not so big, you want to do with your life. I thoght you said you don't like making lists.
@redckarlie
I thank you Charlie for the wonderful team who interviewed me, and I'd love to come back one day. Good luck with your own book sales and book tours.
Way to go, Gutsy! We are all so proud of you!!!!!
Hi Sonia! Glad you posted your interview. MUCH better than mine and better quality too. I took the liberty of adding a writer friend of mine, Cynthia Weitz, to your subscriber list. She and I had talked about you and I think she is a kindred soul. She has travelled the world.
@Kelli
Thanks for being my Danish/Texan supporter.
@Doctor Eclectic
I look forward to hearing from Cynthia. It's nice to connect with people who also enjoy travel and adventure. Thanks, Sonia.
Seems like you have given out some of your blogging secrets to the locals :D. Nice interview.

Hi Sonja,
I thought you were a wonderful guest! Thanks for being on the Write Now Show.
Judy Saxon, co-host of the Write Now TV show.
Thanks Judy.
I really enjoyed being with all of you. The team made the interview run smoothly.
