Galen ...Gay, yes I agree, voice is very important.<br /><br />Galen and Maryanne - very true. Blogging, while a valuable practice in many ways, that helps develop voice, instills discipline (if you bolog frequently), and expands your writing style and areas of writing, is an entirely different animal than novel writing. Blogging is casual, sort of like a conversation. Novels are permanant works of art and need to be taken much more seriously with all your skills and maturity as a writer brought into play.<br /><br /><a href="http://inspiritandtruths.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Old Silly From Free Spirit Blog</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-56233257074435671022009-06-18T10:21:01.505-06:002009-06-18T10:21:01.505-06:00Helpful post, Marvin.

Great reminder. In a related but different area, I’ve noticed that the chatty style I use on my blog posts needs to be watched-for in my novels. Blog writing, as I’m still discovering, is a whole other animal. Fun, but has a pitfall or two.<br /><br />Best Regards, Galen<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com" rel="nofollow">GalenKindley.com </a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-55978491897410362202009-06-18T08:21:15.167-06:002009-06-18T08:21:15.167-06:00Excellent advice.
