I loved the introduction you gave us to The Weird Sisters and your commentary on voice itself -- esp. that part about wanting to sharpen yours until it becomes all you. Fabulous insight!

Now I really want to read it. Yes, voice, that's probably THE MOST important thing about any novel. Because if the voice doesn't draw you in, well, then the book is too easy to put down or not read at all. Your voice in THE BOYFRIEND OF THE MONTH CLUB is so engaging, so friendly and open, that I couldn't help but love Grace. I can only imagine how terrific THE UGLY GIRLFRIEND is going to be. I will be standing in line for it! Wonderful post, as always!<br /><br />Cheers, <br />Susan (who could not post a comment as herself today either--what is up with Blogger?)The Stiletto Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667670723330755598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-84728421619390898322011-04-28T08:49:25.417-04:002011-04-28T08:49:25.417-04:00Maria, I'm always telling my kids that voice i...Maria, I'm always telling my kids that voice is one of the keys to good writing so you hit on a topic that I love! Great post. I have to pick up THE WEIRD SISTERS now. I will add it to my growing TBR pile.

Although I confess that at times I get so intimidated by great writing that I swear I'll never write another word. But then I have stories to tell so...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />MarianThe Stiletto Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667670723330755598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-52796056398276997922011-04-28T07:16:04.883-04:002011-04-28T07:16:04.883-04:00Hi Kathy,

And reading them is what keeps me going, keeps me writing, keeps me working on my writing, to be that good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
