Took me ages to figure out what "voice" was and like you say, there isn't much help out there for people who don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-88418203104722475732012-06-20T23:19:18.899-05:002012-06-20T23:19:18.899-05:00Thank you all so much!

We need to be in their head. THEIR head, not ours as you said. Sometimes its hard to tell the difference, but with practice it will happen. <br /><br />#7 I did that. I edited out almost all of my voice trying to keep all the rules in my first revision. We need to follow the rules, but sometimes voice means breaking a few every once in a while. Don't kill your voice because the rules say sentence fragments are bad. Used sparingly they can add some punch or emphasis to a situation. <br /><br />I love the idea of #8 and will have to try it!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-36154280280601174952012-06-20T05:26:49.127-05:002012-06-20T05:26:49.127-05:00Voice isn't the easiest thing to get....
