Can I take one of those? I think my kids would riot. Ah well. Movie day then. My parenting skills at their best.
I am going to claim sick day from the blogging community, however. My mental capacity is nil and any comments I make might not make any sense at all. Not sure this post will make any sense at all! But just because I'm curious, I'm going to leave you with a couple questions. Feel free to post your answer in the comments or, if you've written a blog post about them already, leave me a link. I can't wait to see what everyone says!
1. How would you describe your voice?
2. What genre/sub genre do you write and why?
Hopefully, I'll be up thinking again in no time!

I think my voice is very little kidish sounding, which I'm trying to break out of. And my genre-fantasy and sci fi all the way!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better and have fun on your sick day!
I have days like that too. I hope you feel better soon. I guess my voice is young and honest and maybe just a little chatty. But I write MG, so that's okay.
ReplyDeleteMy voice is moody. I write women's fiction. They kind of go hand-in-hand, don't they? I can say that; I'm a moody woman. :-)
ReplyDeleteKudos for your for taking a break.
ReplyDeleteMy voice is developing, and has varied from sensitive and sarcastic 16 year old girl to womanizing man in his 40's. Go figure. LOL!
Anyway, I enjoy reading all types of books, from classics, to suspense, to thriller/horror, to fantasy and sci-fi, to young adult. Haven't developed a taste for non-fiction, though I suppose when I "grow up," I will.
This is a great post!
Everyone deserves a day off once in a while! Go recharge. :D
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm doing this tomorrow! I hope you feel better soon. Have a great day with all the movies!
ReplyDeleteI would describe my voice as young and bold with a hint of sarcasm. I write YA fantasy but I'm not opposed to writing something else.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I wouldn't know how to describe my voice. It's mine. It's serious, naughty, witty, chatty, sarcastic... all of that and more. I think.
ReplyDeleteMy genre is psychological fiction, often with a hint of fantasy. I also write non-fiction. To earn some money. One has to eat, eh?
Enjoy the movies and relax!!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on a romantic mystery and a YA steampunk novel. I love so many novels, so many genres - gotta try them all. I have tons of ideas for these 2 genres, so I'll probably stick with them for a bit before moving on.
Take care of yourself.
Have a great day off! I have no idea how to sum up our voice. I think I'd need to ask a beta reader (or Lisa ;)
ReplyDeleteNisa, feel better soon. And yes! Sick days are allowed. No pay, just rest! *grin*
ReplyDeleteI write MG adventure and have started a YA mystery. But my heart is with adventure and MG. I also have lots and lots of completed picture books. Quacker the Duck and Farmer Ben, Quacker the Watch Duck my two favorites.
My voice is good. I have it down. Now for an agent. *she rubs her hands together*
Feel well, my friend. =)
I dabble in so many different genres my voice is always subject to change, but I think my fav is general fiction with romantic overtones. My voice is mostly somber. ;)
ReplyDelete1. How would you describe your voice?
ReplyDeleteWeird and inconsistent. Maybe. I think that many writers don't have a clue what their voice is - it's just an extension of their personality that's second nature. Maybe I'm crazy.
2. What genre/sub genre do you write and why?
I write adult suspense and literary fiction. Sometimes YA if I'm feeling so inclined. :)
Nisa - So glad you stopped by my blog today! Hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteAs far as your question, I'm still trying to figure out my voice. A lot of it depends on the type of story I'm writing at the time. In my current wip, I'm unleashing my straightforward voice filled with snark. :-)
Awww...you poor thing. We all have days like this.
ReplyDeleteI would describe my voice as...quirky? Lighthearted?
I write romantic comedies and am trying chick-lit right now.
Hmm, I think my voice would be a bit sarcastic but lending to literary too. So, yeah. I have no idea. I like to write YA urban fantasy. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Questions.
ReplyDeleteWhen I step back and look at my work I sometimes I think it looks like what happen if Jane Austen and Alfred Hitchcock got in a train wreck. ;)
Witty and quick paced.
I'm definitely a mystery/suspense girl. Everytime I try to write something else people say, "That suspensful scene was the best part of the book." :P
My voice? Difficult to say. I shoot for funny, sometimes youthful, I guess. I have a tendency to use words like awesome and shiznit. I write YA, though, so I suppose it gives me some leeway. Great questions.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sick day! I think you've earned it ;)
I have no idea what my voice is like! I've only written one book and it is a medieval romance. So there's no telling what my voice sounds like! lol
ReplyDeleteWow! The answers were more varied than I was expecting. Thanks for taking the time to answer! This is a subject I find curious and fascinating. Plus I enjoy getting to know you all better! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for the well wishes. We're all recovering slowly but surely over here.
