And I think I...Heather, that's a good question. And I think I know where you're coming from on it. <br /><br />When I write contemporary, my voice is that, very contemporary. But when I write a historical, it comes through differently. Mainly, because of word choices. Medievals tend to lean toward the more flowerly phrases. Westerns toward the older plain ones.<br /><br />In other words (pun intended), I think the voice (rhythm) is the same, but a reader can be thrown off by the word choices.Carla Swaffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711161447004839163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-35061779523222231912011-10-16T16:48:42.259-05:002011-10-16T16:48:42.259-05:00LOL!
