	''There lurks an intimate connection between the written word and the spoken word. We pretend it’s not true, as if the written word is somehow higher up in the food chain, somehow more exalted, but that’s a big brass bucket brimming with bullshit. Language exists initially to communicate from person to person — it is born of speech and sound. Words aren’t just symbols: they’re really how we say things. And so it is that your actual voice matters in this regard. Listen to what you say and how you say things: your authorial voice lurks in this. You should endeavor to write at least in part how you speak. By doing that, you capture the essence of how you say things. Related: always read your work out loud.''

		+	The next step, well, that really is to just keep writing and writing and writing. However, while I write, I try to keep a lookout for situations where I can apply some aspect of my voice and push it to the extreme – just to see what happens.''

		+	:''“Voice” is a writer term that is thrown around a lot, but not easily defined. It’s not style, which is the design of writing. Voice is character and personality. It’s uniquely yours. You can write in the style of others, but not in their voice, at least not authentically. Of all the writing elements, voice is the one thing that isn’t taught, but instead it’s already a part of you, although you may need to find it and bring it out.''
