Be..."...read a variety of good material." Best advice ever!<br /><br />I've started a new section on my blog called "Blogger Bubbles," in which I quote wise bloggers. You have and continue to share so much wisdom that I've included a quote from you:<br /><br />http://sylverblaque.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/work-ethic/<br /><br />This simple quote packs a powerful punch & helps me write diligently every day.

I, on the other hand, am just a book addict I can't deprive myself of my favorite stories.<br />Like you, I read my favorites for entertainment and also to study their techniques. Often, when I'm struggling to create a certain scene or sequel, I'll go back and read one of my favorite books that has a similar story line.<br />I still write my own story in my own voice but I think I improve it by the analysis I've done of successful writers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-23340159704314447792012-04-06T23:16:01.765-05:002012-04-06T23:16:01.765-05:00It is such a difficult leap of faith to take, but ...It is such a difficult leap of faith to take, but so essential.

After 25 years of writing for television, where I had lots of confidence, I'm trying new forms of writing and feel like I'm starting all over. But that whole unique voice is absolutely the key.
