Complicity, I await a few things. Simply because the idea is astonishing – to wait.

I clamor with nothing or no one. As I open Facebook, I check the status of my page, with 453 followers. A new one has arrived. Interesting…

As I peer closer, I realize it’s a radio show that helps mostly indie musicians. My mouth drops…they’ve followed me. This is great news for Unholy, or whichever song I decide to air.

It’s when I realize how right I’ve been. In the past, I thought running ads and gaining fans was enough. There were major drawbacks, including little to no engagement. I have grown to learn that building a community is best.

As I go back and forth with a new friend, she presents another great opportunity. To help compose music for her future video games. I’m stunned, because I would absolutely love to do something like that.

I also have huge projects with my love, which include a book we’ve been writing and music we’ve been working on. I didn’t run ads to gain these great people…I simply created (and healed) in doing so.

There are people sharing my posts to their own profiles, simply because, including my significant other. Recently, my new friend and GrimmTV shared the newest video for The Fray. I asked my gorgeous boyfriend to do the voice over, his sound is perfect. His tone is deep, not overly so. Charming. I smile when he speaks, or calls me baby. I figured it would be alluring to hear him in character, reading lines for Miguel Cervantez, a major protagonist from my novel.

It came out so well. I remember sharing a passage with him where I stated Miguel’s voice was like deep, velvety chocolate. He hit every single note…from the moment you are immersed in the treat, until it melts, lathers and disappears.

Afterwards, he admitted he enjoyed getting into character…and I remember never feeling so happy in my life. That this person took time to voice over someone else’s character because they were excited about the book.

So, now I await nothing. My new friend shares a lot of my posts, she’s read the previews. I love that she cares so much, genuinely. Building a community was a better decision.

It feels like home.
