Which caused me to struggle in the beginning trying to be something I was not.

I have to be me at all times and want my writing to reflect my personality, my voice. Your post content is worth pondering with its valued points.

I was so disappointed that when I wrote freely and enjoyed it my voice was not like that of Edith Wharton. <br /><br />I agree that the tone of each book and the voices of the characters change but my style of writing stays fairly consistent through out. Voice probably wasn't the right word. Now that I wrote that it is really more my style. Oh well too late to fix it now and come up with an alternate v option. :)Kathryn Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755466843555856661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331874526462840096.post-30300524861170290252014-04-25T02:34:31.441-07:002014-04-25T02:34:31.441-07:00Short sentences, simple and plain, are modern, and...Short sentences, simple and plain, are modern, and people like narratives to move along. Sometimes I think that each book could have a different voice depending on the story and the characters. If writing in first person the age, class, educational and mental state could also alter the voice. <br />I know I need practice when taking this into account.<br />Great blog and thoughtful.Frankie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787954599014677407noreply@blogger.com
