Words With Friends, Our Vocal Connections
How we benefit from connecting with and talking to our Vocal Friends
I used to play a game called Words With Friends on Facebook , and then on my phone. I ditched it on Facebook for intrusive adverts , then on my phone because it ran down the battery so quickly and the number of women who contacted me and would not accept I was just there to play THAT game.
I think I ditched it and lost a few friends I played with, it was just a game , and was not feasible for me. I couldn’t play it on Facebook and it destroyed my phone.
Then I believed the Vocal blurb and signed up, and faltered into a few stories , but was worried it would affect my blog Seven Days In. Well it has but instilled be with a sort of writing discipline and I have really enjoyed picking up on that, but no one was reading my stuff , friends on twitter and facebook would like my post but bar two or three would never read the article, as someone said “I don’t like reading” , hmmm how does one deal with that.
Well I found a group on Facebook , then another , then another. At the bottom of this article are links to groups and people who have made my stay on Vocal and in these groups so pleasurable.
A good friend pointed out that if links are too close together you cannot access them pn your phone so all the links that matter are at the bottom but I am going to list some of the really beneficial and pleasurable interactions I have had.
I have become Facebook friends with some as well .
All these people are well worth visiting and reading.
The links will be to their Vocal profiles.
Most recently Melissa Ingoldsby who asked me to play a guitar riff for her , so I did and she also liked my latest YouTube post which I posted of the song that got me into Tom Waits which I had promised another friend for about twelve months.
Danielle Mosley a lovely poetess who I love reading and interacting with on the various groups

I am going to stop here , but you are now my Words with friends . Anyone not on this list I still love you. I know it’s a bit female heavy but I tend to find women easier to talk to , always have, often to my huge disadvantage.
As a teenager conversations went “Do you want to go out with me?” , “Nooo … we can talk to you!!!!”
The music to lead this is "Come Talk To Me" buy Peter Gabriel. I hope you all do.
