I've always had stories in my head. I used to think everyone did. When my 4 kids were young they learned that when mom's eyes were unfocused, she's not really "here". Instead I was "listening" to the characters telling me about their lives. Writing my first book back in 2008 was eye-opening. Those characters stopped yelling in my ear! But new ones started. It's a noisy place in my head, but I like it that way. BTW, the picture shows me wearing Toronzo Cannon's hat. He's a blues-guitar-shredder, who tossed it into the audience at 2019's Chicago Blues-fest. Did he throw it at me, close to the front of the audience, because he'd met me the year before at the Blues on the Fox show out in Aurora, and signed my CD? He has a song called "Fine, Seasoned Woman," and he told me that's what I am! Woot!
