Pri...Barbara - love the idea of tricking yourself!<br /><br />Priscille - Poetry... hadn't thought of that.<br /><br />EB - That's an interesting take. I hadn't thought of that - using someone else's voice to push you out of one you've overused.

I think in part because I know what my voice is an author. What I'm actually trying to do more of is write a bit beyond my voice. I feel like I'm sticking to a comfort zone too much. And that I could become predictable.E.B.

Sometimes I worry about this, but sometime...I know! Sometimes I worry about this, but sometimes I'll read something just to get into the rhythm that I want to put to the page. One of the reasons I love poetry is that it gets the voice primed. So I do think it can work both ways. Some voices you just don't want in your head. You want your characters there, but not necessarily Shakespeare. Other times you want a little bit of the old bard. Just a teeny bit.Priscille Sibleyhttp://www.priscillesibley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-84064947620536346372012-07-18T08:56:57.952-04:002012-07-18T08:56:57.952-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Barbara Claypole Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308093554908967725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-79589053960602835792012-07-18T08:56:10.597-04:002012-07-18T08:56:10.597-04:00So true.
