Five Minute Friday - Roar

Let’s do it. Let’s just write without worrying if it’s just right or not.

For only five short, bold, beautiful minutes. Let your mind and your words and your heart fly free; wild – no editing, no over thinking.

Won’t you join me?

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – don’t edit; don’t second-guess.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Must: leave a comment for the person who linked up before you – encouraging them in their writing!

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on: Roar…

Go

There are so many times that I want to be heard, but I don’t make my voice loud enough. Not loud in the volume sense of the word, but loud in how much I try to voice what I am saying to people that aren’t listening. 

There are times that we choose to stay silent, rather than ROAR, when people choose not to hear what we’re trying to say. Those times need to be fewer for me. But, many people are like me in that we don’t respond to people who Roar because those that do are just annoying. 

There has to be a middle ground to being heard and not being obnoxious. Sometimes I feel like yelling “I actually know what I’m talking about, so shut up and listen,” but I know that wouldn’t be effective.

Stop

So, this was my very first attempt at Five Minute Friday…and it’s not that easy. To write without spending time thinking about it, or having the chance to edit it and pull it together into something coherent, is harder than I would have expected. Hopefully, it will get easier to learn to “just write!”
