Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.

Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.

I don't even think my voice is really good.

Writers have to have a knack for listening. I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create.

I know that I have a voice and can use it for good or bad. It's a gift from God.

I've always been searching to arrive at a certain voice that will probably elude me forever.

I always enjoy rhythms and melodies, but I always use my voice as more of an instrument and less of a soapbox for me to say or to preach.

I consider the voice a gift from the heavens, and as all the gifts from the heavens, they must be used, but the minute that the heavens call it back then of course I will stop.

Words are really beautiful, but they're limited. Words are very male, very structured. But the voice is the netherworld, the darkness, where there's nothing to hang onto. The voice comes from a part of you that just knows and expresses and is.
