You talk.
You talk to yourself.
You talk to yourself in public.
You talk to yourself in public and not get caught.
You talk to yourself in public and get caught just once.
You talk to yourself in public even though people might think you’re weird.
You talk to yourself in public even though people might think you’re weird but who cares what anyone thinks. Your beautiful self should not be fretting over what someone says or thinks.
You write. You love it unconditionally.

Is this like, my biography or something? π Great post, Herminia!
It was based off my experiences so I didn’t think it’d be this accurate in describing your life. π Thanks.
Can’t agree more OMG. I talk to myself so much that I don’t even though it is actually considered a weird thing.
that I don’t even *know it is actually… (sorry for the typo)
You have no need to be sorry. π
Mmm I don’t see anything wrong with talking to oneself. Once someone accused me of doing it, and I just knew they were judging me.
You’ve just about covered it, Herminia.
Yes!
Big Hugs

Whew, I was afraid it wouldn’t resonate with other writers.
Yup. I’ve done this. Whenever I walk alone, I’m often thinking about what I’m going to write, and I get the dialogue going through my mind. I start saying the lines, and occasionally someone notices. Though I try to do it when no one is around.
True. Dialogue is meant to be spoken. If only it was that easy to be alone.
I find it quite difficult to be alone.
Me too. I’m always around people whether I like it or not.
The worst is when you start making faces as you write to try to describe a certain action, lol.
I do that too. Whenever I’m not sure how to describe an action, I mimic it.
It’s the only way to do it! π
Exactly. I do it all the time.
Gave me a smile this morning. π So true to the writer life!
Aw I’m happy to hear that.
I’m too shy to do this in public, but I’ve been doing this in private pretty much all my life. I’ll run around the house, act out scenes, etc. Only in adulthood did anyone hint that such behavior is not “normal” π
Well I think it’s completely normal. π
Very interesting post. I have a similiar blog if you ever want to stop by. http://tracykauffman.wordpress.com.
Also, I offer help with finding a publisher and marketing, if you are interested. http://writingcoach.wix.com/fullspeedahead
Awesome. Thanks.
Wow! You nailed this concept!!!
Thanks so much. π
Thanks for liking my blog. Blessings.
You don’t have to thank me for that. π
I am definitely the last one. I have humorous posts about Top Ten Reasons You Know You Are A Writer and Top Ten Disadvantages To Marrying A Writer, Keep on writing. Happy to run across your blog.
Ah, that’s awesome. I’m glad you stumbled across my blog. Happy writing!
Thanks
You’re welcome.
I relate! Except for this: My “talking out loud” is more like “mumbling under my breath.” Drives my husband crazy! But doesn’t bother me a bit.
Excellent post!

Yay! Ah, it can’t be that bad. Thank you.
I don’t always talk to myself out loud and not usually in public, but my brain is pretty much a nonstop chatterbox. I was just pontificating about this recently because I feel like a lot of potential insight or writing material is lost because it just sort of bangs around in my head while I’m busy doing other things…instead of just stopping to jot down enough to remember the most salient point until I can sit down to deal with it in more detail.
Aha you’re thinking all the time! What a shame to lose out on all those insights and ideas. Try to get them down as quickly as possible. If anything you can come back to those points later when you have more time.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I figured as well – I’m going to have to start putting pens and paper literally everywhere. That way, there’s no excuse!
I wish I thought of that. I should start too. No more excuses for either of us.
LOL! Have you been following me around? I totally can relate to what “Confessionsofawhirlwindmind” stated. What a whirlwind idea! π
I have eyes everywhere, so maybe. π
It’s a great idea.
Haha. π It is a great idea, which I shall adapt.
I hope it works out well for you.
