Voices

Various V words scrolled through my mind, but none of them really stuck that wonderfully.

But the V words just kept coming and I was like, okay damn, I hear y'all, can you just be quiet already...

And I realized I was talking to the voices and there's a V word I could write about.

I don't care what anyone says, argue with me if you want, but every single person has voices in their head. It's just some people get the thin line a little tangled and can't remember that they're really just fake voices inside their head.

As a writer, I've got voices in my head. Male, female, other...So many voices. And sometimes they all talk at the same time. And most of the time all of them are rude and want the attention focused on them alone. And then some of them beg to not be in a story at all.

Sometimes I'm very sure my voices are crazy. Then I remember that I'm basically listening to conversations happening inside my head and most people would classify that as crazy. So, I have to sit back and compromise with the voices. I agree that I'm not insane because hearing voices is a natural thing(especially for writers). And the voices agree to keep to a hum(at most) whenever I'm in public. That way I don't look crazy and actually be crazy too. Although, I may already be crazy, who knows.

What I do know is that I hope you have a very great weekend and I'll catch you Monday. :)

Volunteer

Very sorry, I have no sentence today. I'm still working on getting used to my meds, I'm good to have coherent blog posts :p

Volunteer

Okay, so I know not everyone volunteers. And to be honest when this came to mind I was thinking of myself. I volunteer (or at least try to) as often as possible at my kids schools. I like to be involved and volunteering gives me that opportunity. BUT I also think volunteering comes in many ways. Writers volunteer to critique for other writers, or any one volunteers to be beta readers. OR even volunteering to read a book and do a review of it. Volunteering to guest blog or host a guest on your blog. Anything/service your offering without wanting anything in return (other than satisfaction that you did something nice).

This to do isn't necessarily daily, weekly, or even monthly-but it should be on your list. Volunteering is good for the soul. Find time somewhere in your schedule to do something to help someone out, just because.

I have a great TAG! tomorrow, please come by and check it out.

Also, I announced on Sunday that I will have a contest soon. I think I will have a couple-maybe, I haven't decided for sure, but I am pretty sure. I know at least one book I will be giving away and it's a fabulous read. Stay tuned in May :)

One more thing, and it's AWESOME! Alex J Cavanaugh is having a contest!!! It's an amazing giveaway for the winner's school or library of choice. Now, go check it out! :D

Happy Volunteering :)
