I had a hard time working out what voice was and then an even harder time learning what mine sounded like, so I'm sure I was letting people edit my voice out. I am on draft 4 of deathhawk's Betrayal which was supposed to be my last but now I've just sent it out to more betas.Ciara Ballintynehttp://ciaraballintyne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930320015749694781.post-12069769028627792902012-03-24T22:38:39.018+11:002012-03-24T22:38:39.018+11:00You are abnsolutely right, and you've helped m...You are abnsolutely right, and you've helped me to realise that!

I've decided that my current draft (4) is THE LAST ONE before I send it out. Even that's a bit of a lie, because sections of the WIP have had more work than others for various reasons, so I'm really on draft 4.3, lol! And you're absolutely right, you can't let other people edit your voice out of your work. I'll have to remember that one myself.

Without you...because in essence, ...Nor should you. Without you...because in essence, you ARE your voice, and your stellar work reflects that, you should never amputate any of it. It would be cutting off your nose to spite your face. And though I am happily married (hence NOT hitting on you) you have a gorgeous face. Don't mar it.
