I have just left the classroom after fourteen years and I am now combining my marketing/writing experience with my teaching expertise. Your article was very helpful, and I agree that "The Artists Way," particularly the morning pages was a good book. Also, the books of Donald Murray and a number of other teacher/writers have been helpful. I have ordered "Zen" as I have a learning curve around social media. I would love to talk to you about working on the editing of "Quips and Tips." My expertise around teaching and learning may be very useful to you.

I hope you dont think im just kidding because this is serious for me. So I hope you answer me.

I have been planning a book in my head for years. I have been researching furiously for the last few months. I know I am at the point where I need to actually start physically writing...and I am terrified. The thought of putting that first sentence down, and it not being perfect, even hours of torment to decide on character names. What do I need to do to give myself a good kick you know where and just do it. Hi Laurie,

]]> Comment on What is Writer’s Voice? The Key to Writing a Good Story by Amandah http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/what-is-writers-voice-creative-writing-tips/#comment-20375 Amandah Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:47:49 +0000 http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/?p=735#comment-20375 I know this may sound crazy, but I think some writers are afraid to find or even use their voice for fear of backlash from family and friends. On the other hand, some get burned out from writing in one particular voice. For example, I'm the type of writer who doesn't want to be 'boxed in' to one type of voice. Where's the fun in that? It's one of the reasons I stopped guest blogging. I got tired of my 'voice' and am looking for new opportunities where I can be witty, humorous, snarky, and satirical. Change is good.

Not having much experience with query letters, I probably let them intimidate me more than I should. It is obvious that you believe in your topic, have allowed plenty of room for growth, and can make each story enjoyable. My only question, as a reader: I would wonder how this can be inspirational if it is focusing on the women who were not well-behaved. I get it, but may not choose to purchase it if I was hoping to be inspired. Maybe the subtitle could say something about women who captured a spot in history, and why. Does that make sense?
