I never want to say, "I wonder what might have been." I want to do the best with what I've got and be grateful for it. That's one of the reasons I loved The King's Speech. It's about one man's struggle to fight fear and find his voice. I think it's hugely powerful.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-59898401060516097342011-02-15T20:56:20.768-05:002011-02-15T20:56:20.768-05:00How true this is.

We "shouldn't" let fear about what our voice is keep us from writing, but just write and let our "voice" take care of itself.Darlene Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309528220394646410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-76368865463608123652011-02-12T16:29:30.513-05:002011-02-12T16:29:30.513-05:00Hi Terri!

Although I guess we can learn by copying someone's style, I think writers do themselves a diservice if they don't hunt for their own voice. I'm sure you are right on the money too when you speak of confidence. Thanks for weighing in, Terri.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-66003837978114721942011-02-12T14:46:12.685-05:002011-02-12T14:46:12.685-05:00Hi Jill,

At least my Crit partners think so:) I think part of it has to do with being more confident in your writing abilities that you aren't trying to sound like someone else and that inner editor can be turned off.Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.com
