I think I’ve pretty solidly established the natural voice I use for my paranormals — light, funny contemporary stories. But I’ve been experimenting with different storytelling styles and different voices. Some are easier to put on than others!

I am new to writing and I’m sure my voice isn’t fully established yet but I try not to worry about it too much as it may stilt my writing. They say your voice develops over time, let’s hope that’s so.

Thanks for posting this Georgia. I love this line: “What you have to work at is how to let your voice shine, how to step aside and let your voice work for you.” This is what I need to focus on because I think I get stage fright when it comes to my voice. I’m self-conscious that maybe my writing voice isn’t “unique” enough or lacks consistency (can a writer’s voice be schizophrenic?). So letting it shine is what I need to work on.
Thanks!
