While plot and other elements are also key, I don't think that anything can outshine good author voice. It's also perhaps, or at least it seemed to me, one of the most challenging parts of those early writing years, discovering voice and our stride on the page that feels natural and also uniquely us.

And then I cross my fingers that I'll like those other books/authors too. Because once I find a genre or style of book I really like, I want to read more like it!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-40768578328060349222013-10-22T22:13:26.519-04:002013-10-22T22:13:26.519-04:00Excellent point, Linda.

And yes, sometimes I worry that my books will overlap someone else. But then I have to remind myself that we can still stand out and be different, even if we are the same! :-)Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-88514203602081484252013-10-22T22:02:39.803-04:002013-10-22T22:02:39.803-04:00Thank you for stopping by today, Heather!

But making sure our voice is truly fresh and not copycat is hopefully one way that we can slowly rise into public view.

If I enjoy one kind of writing style I tend to latch on to books that follow in the same vein. I read faster than what one author can write, so if other authors write in a style I enjoy there will be enough great books to go around until a new novel comes out by my favorite author. Just finished a debut novel yesterday that reminded me of a favorite author's work. One reason I picked up the book (besides plot and cover) was that I knew from this debut author's Goodreads page that most of her favorite authors matched mine. For that reason alone I would have picked up her novel to read. I loved the book and plan to purchase it after having read the library copy.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184999232100292027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-9396358725831192772013-10-22T12:07:25.822-04:002013-10-22T12:07:25.822-04:00I think we each have a way of putting things in ou...I think we each have a way of putting things in our writing, so each book is indivdual and special in how we would deal with the setting and circumstances therein. I believe that God can use each writers work for his glory and each voice is indeed fresh ! Well that is my thoughts IMHO...
