As I was putting some references on my website, as well as links on the subject of Writer’s Voice, I came across this site and so I took the freedom to add it on the reference section.

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?

Second: Write a first draft, close it and walk away till morning – you’ll have great ideas after you’ve left it alone for a while. Third: Pretend to tell the story, description, topic to a friend – then write down how it came out of your mouth.” – Angela Moore. (Her third tip is a great way to find your writer’s voice). [...]
