30 Days of #MamaWriteLife

Have you tried Periscope?

I found a new platform – actually, Bethany Jett of SeriousWriter.com tried it, posted in Jon Acuff‘s 30 Days of Hustle group, and I grew curious. Several members use the mobile app, and it has been great fun. It’s a lot like people watching, but more specific and a lot more interactive than Youtube.

On this Monday, June 1, 2015, I’ve decided to give Periscope a try – for the first time… EVER. I’ll look like a dork, but why not?

Over the next week, I’ll decide on the best daily time to Periscope, and I will try to stick to that time from there forward. I’ll let you know when I know.

Periscope uses Twitter handles, so find me – @msbbrumley

Today begins 30 days of a daily #MamaWriteLife Periscope broadcast.

Next month, via Periscope, I’ll be counting down to my first ever writer’s conference, and everything I will be doing to plan for a pitch session.

Invariably, we love platform. We’re writers. We have the audacity to believe that we have something to say. So here we are: saying it. And with Periscope, I can say it and read commentary – and answer what you say or ask.

DFW Writers Conference, and then That Day I Lost my Mind

I did it.

I signed up. I think I can pitch.

I’ve been talked into attending the DFW Writers Conference in Dallas, July 24 – July 26, 2015.

Woot!

I’m terrified.

It’s is a lot of money in my world. It’s a weekend away from home.

Is it the best choice right now?

I’m working on a SciFi novel. It’s clean, no cursing, might be salable as a Young Adult. I’ll be hustling to get it done-enough to pitch the best I can.

I’ve chosen Susan Chang with Tor Publishing and Laura Maisano with Anaiah Press as my options for pitching.

What if I do it wrong? What if I fail?

What the heck was I thinking?
