I've recently mentioned that my inner voice is about five years old. Both because it often tells me throw things and kick people (I don't act on it, rest assured), which is not quite appropriate to my advances years, and because it is just as I remember it - since I was five. I remember my thoughts and the paradoxes I amused myself ("I think that I think that I think that I think" and "who is me that's thinking it?" and other.)

and then I thought it is a good idea for a poll. What's about your inner voice? Is it any good?

My inner voice is always rolling her eyes and stomping her foot, whining about fairness and often telling me to be quiet and let the grown ups say the important things. She's very clearly a teenager and it's very hard to shut her up.

I have a collection of inner voices so I can't pick one age.

it often tells me throw things and kick people

Hee. One of my voices often tells me NOT to throw things and kick people.

It's a wonder I manage to complete anything at all, what with being paralyzed with indecision and etc.

P.S. icon love!

My inner voice is pretty much me minus a few years, and I keep talking to it...:)

sdn and I had a conversation about this once. She had claimed on a panel that YA writers all had a younger inner voice, and my conscious brain balked, and my inner voice said, clearly and quietly, "Twelve." So I told her this, and she said, "I knew it -- I could tell you were older than me but not by much. Mine's 11. pameladean is older than both of us -- she's 16." So. That.

And I do tend to pick 12-year-old YA narrators when there's not a good reason otherwise.
