I think our personal voice develops through practice, over time and by experience, as our writing grows up. Sometimes, trying to imitate other writers can do wonders for beginning writers. You learn about the voices of others. Ghost writing is great too. When you learn to be aware of what makes each individual voice unique you begin to see how YOUR voice is unique.

I’ve also noticed our personal voice changes over time. We develop habits and we go through our own life stages. This too shapes and influences our writing and as such, our personal voice.

You’ll find your daughter’s singing voice also changes and develops through her life. And imitating other singers is a good way to challenge herself. Ultimately, her own voice will always be the one that sounds the best from her.

I still don’t know how to use Twitter that well but I found you. You have a great site and I’m learning a lot.

Thanks for this series on setting up a Blog Tour. I found it interesting, not because I’m looking to set up a tour but because I host authors on my blog. So, it was informative to hear from the other side of the equation.

I’ve just finished an article I posted on my website looking at it from the Host side. If you’d like to read it, it’s at:

There are new things to learn every day concerning the Internet. It’s hard to keep up with it all! When I cruise around, I don’t even pay attention to whether a blog is hosted on a free service or the blogger’s domain. And, yet, now I find out that’s important to visiting authors. So that’s another thing I need to learn — how to host a blog on my own domain.
