Do you believe you have already found "your voice" or is that something one is always searching for?
Because I write from my own experiences, finding my voice is easy. However, lots of my readers say that reading my work is like listening to a friend telling their traveller's tales. I find this gratifying.
Good question. I don't know how to answer it. My "voice" is probably more established than I realize. At the same time, however, "my voice" is the really the "voice" of the novel, the voice of the protagonist. I really don't think about "voice" when I'm writing. I just write it in whatever way I think achieves the communication I'm striving for. But I'm sure that I, as a writer, either consciously or unconsciously, follow certain rules and pathways that seem the most natural to me. But the more I learn about my craft and the more experience I gain from writing, writing, writing, the more my "voice," whatever that is, will go through additional changes and re-formulations over time.
I build it everyday. You find a style and this could also be called a voice. I guess that you have identifiable elements in your narrative like recurring topics or situations and the way to express them as well as the way you use words and rules.
Surely that evolves with time as do our personalities with life. Though if I were to describe my 'voice' now...the reflection of a woman's thoughts and feelings against the backdrop of men and the world that encompasses them.
I was once told by a fellow author - 'I can spot your writing style a mile away!' So I guess that says I already have a distinctive voice.
Surely that evolves in time as do our personalities with life. Though if I were to describe my voice now - I would say...the reflection of a woman's thoughts and feeling against the backdrop of men and the world that encompasses them.
I can paint a landscape in your mind with the effort of a small child's laughter. My voice is my own, and it has always come easy to me.
I need to have many voices in order to adapt my message to the target I am writing for. But if I would have to describe my writing voice, I would called it fluid and involving.
I've found my voice. That's something you have to defend when you're working with an editor.
I like to think that I'm basically settled with my overall voice. Although, I have, and still do experiment from time to time.
I think that "voice" is an inherent part of each writer. I believe that when a writer is honest to his or her inner voice then the writing voice flows naturally from that. There are cadences, patterns, and certain inflections that comprise our true voice and our writing voice is an extension of that true voice.
I believe I had a voice that still needs work.
People tell me that my voice is all over my writing. So the answer is that I've found my voice and you can tell my piece from other pieces.
I think everyone has a voice but yea even when you have one or many you are always searching for more!
I do have "my voice". Always very dark and somber. Sigh.... |
