We all write slightly differently from the way we speak, we leave out all the ums and ahs for a start. But if you set out to tell the story of Goldilocks, for example, and so did I we would have the same story, but very different ways of telling it. Which is great!Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-60728510336692326162012-04-26T08:05:19.618+00:002012-04-26T08:05:19.618+00:00I don't write -well, not stories, well, I sort...I don't write -well, not stories, well, I sort of do but they are all inside my head. I think this is why my 'voice' tends to be pretty much the same as my 'real voice'! But I am hoping I will come to know this mysterious voice you speak of...one day.kate nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343201276177843047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-59247529590917435242012-04-25T16:59:09.025+00:002012-04-25T16:59:09.025+00:00Thank you Teresa, wow, that sick feeling may not b...Thank you Teresa, wow, that sick feeling may not be going away soon, then! I do feel nervous just not knowing what's going on. My agent's been busy with another client, but I didn't know that, and I started to panic. I think I need to grow a way thicker skin. One piece of advice that I definitely took on board - carry on writing, don't just sit and wait. Thank you for the link, which I will pass on to a friend in a similar position! Looking forward to good news from your camp somewhen soon.Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-11697571978041900042012-04-25T15:10:54.356+00:002012-04-25T15:10:54.356+00:00Hi Reb - hope you don't mind this but I read a...Hi Reb - hope you don't mind this but I read a blog post today from a debut author about the first year since she got a book deal and it reminded me of you, some of the things she said I thought you might find comforting - especially about the 'totem pole' (will become clearer...) Made me think of the feelings you talked about with having the agent, and the 'J is for Jealousy' post.<br /><br />Here's the link anyway: <br /><br />http://betweenfactandfiction.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/inside-year-post-book-deal.htmlTeresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-9056245203607544252012-04-25T13:15:26.219+00:002012-04-25T13:15:26.219+00:00Hi Sue, analysing your voice can make you self con...Hi Sue, analysing your voice can make you self conscious, I find! Good to look back sometimes at what really felt right and flowed naturally, perhaps. Love your blog...though I don't knit, I am a crochet ninja...Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-1445066540245086992012-04-25T12:32:44.260+00:002012-04-25T12:32:44.260+00:00Most of us are usually unaware of our own 'ph...Most of us are usually unaware of our own 'physical' speech accent - likewise with my writing, I don't really know what it sounds like. <br /><br />I can recognise the differences in other writers, they way they construct their sentences and paragraphs; how they like to use tenses, etc. <br /><br />As for me - it's usually just what 'feels' right! I will spend a fair bit of time reorganising a sentence to make it sound less 'clunky' - there, I suppose that's part of my 'accent'! <br />;-p<br /><br />Just dropped by on the blog-hop via the 'surprise me' button! Thanks for making me stop and think - now I shall be analysing my 'voice'.....!<br />Happy A-Z'ing, anyway!<br /><br /><br />SueH <a href="http://irefusetogoquietly.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">I refuse to go quietly!</a><br />Twitter - @LibrarymaidSueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394307650434614637noreply@blogger.com
