Tomorrow I’m giving an interactive class on literary voice At the Idaho Writer’s League in Coeur D’ Alene.
Many people have a difficult time finding their writer’s voice. Your voice on the page should be as unique as your own manner of speaking. If you are a quiet, gentle person your voice should reflect that on the page. Your writing may feel light and airy. While a dark and brooding person will be able to lock you in their world with their stong and emotional tones.
I enjoy both styles of writing, as long as it takes me to a world where I can escape to! Tomorrow I’ll be helping people to recognize what a literary voice is, and hopefully understanding that finding your own voice is akin to finding (and knowing) your own inner self.
