A writer? How on earth did this happen to me? I’m not really sure.

My family sometimes thinks I’m crazy. Sometimes my friends do too. I’m usually so happy and upbeat I drive everyone else around me crazy. So where does all that energy go? (No! It’s not exercise!) I have an outlet for all that. I write. And I write. And I write. I can go through my dresser drawers and find pieces of paper that I have written on. I’ve thrown many of them out. Some of them are truly angst. Those teenage writings I find tucked away. Happy angst (is there such a thing?) is my norm.

I never really kept a diary or journal. Rather napkins and sheets of scrap paper to write down what needs to come out. I’ve discovered I’m a slow writer. Well, maybe slow isn’t the right word. I get distracted easily. If I’m distracted, I can’t always get back in my rhythm. I know this so I try to write when I know I’ll have little to no distraction. Then I get that call…”Mommy…” I know they want something! At nineteen and twenty one they only call me that when they are going to ask me something that will take time or money. Am I right or am I right? (excuse me while I go harvest that money tree!)

The best way to describe it is the voices DO talk to me! However, I’ve found out the voices inside my head are VERY NAUGHTY voices 😀 Not all of them are, but those are the loudest. Since I got serious about writing and nothing gets you more serious than having your imagination published, I’ve tried to be more disciplined. I love sharing my voices! And it’s okay if these voices answer back. As a matter of fact if they didn’t it would just be ramblings on a page and no one would want to read it.

Right? Right? Hellooooo! Anybody there?

Well, just in case someone is still there, the voices are still talking to me and I’m listening. And writing. Part of the process is closing your eyes and pushing that submission button. And waiting and waiting and waiting. Biting your nails and waiting some more. Those naughty voices keep talking and hopefully YOU’LL be Touched by the Sandman, if of course I get that green light and lots of editing time to go with it! 😉

Haven’t read what those naughty voices say? Check out Dragons’ Mate! Enjoy! And imagine where those voices will take me next!
