Coaching
the writing voice — the narrative tone and style and essences
that become the telling of the story in sentences and paragraphs and scenes and
chapters — is the toughest realm of “talent” to access. And for many, to
improve upon.
Thing
is, sometimes it’s that very thing – your voice – that is
standing in your way.
It’s
like coaching a singer to carry a better tune.
Writing
voice is an ear thing, a sensibility. It is something
that comes naturally, and from there is honed and tuned in context to the
evolution not only of what you need to get onto the page, but what you
are drawn to as a reader, as well.
What
may seem like your natural “voice” may not be your ticket, after all.
The
ultimate goal of working on your voice is, like the singer, a more appropriate
tone and style and musicality for the performance. The singer has to get
it at some point, no matter what the teaching tries to convey.
