It's not easy but the hyper active voice just resonates with me. <br /><br />Congrats on the progress with your story!

Hi Nissa
I'm so sorry for...So many new people.<br /><br />Hi Nissa<br />I'm so sorry for your illness. Nice to meet you though. <br /><br />Hi Chrys<br />Yes, each protagonist is unique and we must do them justice by interpreting their story. Thanks for coming by.<br /><br />Hi Alex<br />I have yet to read your stories. Something to look forward to.<br /><br />Hi Rachna<br />I agree, voice was such a mystery until I realized that we each have our own voice because we are unique people, just as our characters are unique, or should be.<br /><br />Hi Joylene<br />Well, you've got me for sure. I write in 3rd person and now in 1st. I don't think I'll attempt any others.<br /><br />Hi Diane<br />I think illness and its after math can stop the creative person cold. I hope to control this problem for the good.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for coming by. As I mentioned in my above post, we are having power issues here. The transformer blew, so I will only have a short time at night. But I'll get to you all by the end of the week.<br />NacyN. R.

Bravo for pushing yourself. Yes! Voice equals character. Always. <br /><br />Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-458556785127322172013-09-04T10:21:04.942-06:002013-09-04T10:21:04.942-06:00When I first heard about voice I was slightly baff...When I first heard about voice I was slightly baffled.

But I am happy that you're finding your way back to writing. :)<br /><br />I really loved this post! Voice IS character, and it is so important! I have noticed that my voice changes slightly from story to story too, because each story is different, and each protagonist demands a unique voice. <br /><br />Your short story truly sounds wonderful! I love the concept!! :) Good luck with it!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-24231133077169096162013-09-04T09:28:42.200-06:002013-09-04T09:28:42.200-06:00Hi!

I recently developed Chronic Kidney Disease and it made me so tired all the time that I sometimes too naps twice a day. Too tired to even THINK about my writing.<br /><br />And then to deal with my health problems I had to go on an ultra-strict low carbohydrate diet which means I actually had to cook and plan meals obsessively--- another distraction from writing.<br /><br />I actually like writing in first person, but only so long as the character has a distinctive voice that is different from my own. I sometimes write a bit of the story in first person even when I don't intend to leave it that way, just to get a feel for the character.<br /><br />Nissa AnnakindtNissa Annakindthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289000116822109714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-43189494706494504852013-09-04T08:10:55.791-06:002013-09-04T08:10:55.791-06:00Nice to meet you Vikki, look forward to hearing mo...Nice to meet you Vikki, look forward to hearing more from you.<br /><br />Hi Siv,<br />Thanks.<br /><br />Just a note folks.
