Writing in Voice

[meredith_wood]

Years ago I used to write out these crafty little posts. I stopped though because I didn't have that many people reading my journal back then and I also didn't want to come across like I thought I knew everything. Plus, I mean, we all know I know just about close to nothing. lol

Great post!

I think using 'Real-life speak' and characters personalities showing though in their voices makes a huge difference to how well a book reads.

Thanks for sharing :)

No problem! Thanks for reading. :-)

You're really good at this, you know? Great post!

LOL. Thank you. Sometimes I forget though or get lazy and think, "Why try so hard?" It's good to go back to the basics and realize there's a reason to try so hard.

This is just what I needed :) thank you! Assuming you have more when I'm home off of my phone I plan on devouring them with some hot tea.

Thanks! I plan on digging some more out of hiding in the next few days.
