When I first started writing I didn’t know what this meant.
Often other writers would allude to it, but they could never quite explain what
it was. Two SCBWI conferences and almost two years later, I think I’m finally
beginning to figure it out.
The reason the other writers had such a hard time describing
it is because it’s indescribable. It’s just that certain something, call it charisma,
call it It, it just is, or it isn’t…
We’ve all met people like that, you don’t know why you’re
drawn to them, but you are. And so is everyone else. It’s the same thing with
voice, you don’t know what it is unless it’s there, but you do know when it isn’t.
Now I am joining
the plethora of writers who are trying to describe something totally intangible.
I guess it just took a little time, a lot of reading, and even some writing
thrown in on occasion.
