Re: Be A Better Writer--MORE ABOUT VOICE
Jan,

Re: Be A Better Writer--MORE ABOUT VOICE
In this lesson you, again, posted an excerpt of Kent Haruf's writing, and again, I found it intriguing. I remember in your first lesson on vioce (or perhaps it was the preamble to your first lesson) you cautioned against ditching punctuation, and said Haruf would have concrete reasons for the punctu...

Re: The 2015 Fiction Page Turner Contest

Re: Winners for WEEKEND AWAY Challenge
Dixie is your MIL??? You are a blessed man. Miss that lady! And congrats!!! Yes, Dixie is my MIL:) She is and has been one of the greatest blessings I've ever known.

Re: Be a Better Writer--VOICE (PART 1)

One thing I would like to see explored in future posts is how to 'break or bend rules' in a way that enhances one's voice. Great lesson! Can't wait for more. tha...

Re: Be a Better Writer--FIND YOUR OWN VOICE
Jan, I found the excerpt strange and frustrating at first, but I came around to find it unrestrictive and evocative. Perhaps, in preaching the merit of a thing we overlook its weaknesses, or at the very least, the effectiveness of something else. Still, I'll echo the others in saying the lack of pun...

Re: Be a Better Writer--A TOUCH OF POV
Jan, Here's a excerpt from a larger project I'm working on, written in first person. *** From the den, I watched David sitting at the end of his bed, still wearing his suit from the funeral. I closed the shoe box of pictures and letters, and walked to his room. Tears ran swiftly down his face, but t...
