WORDS OF WISDOM

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, you readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul. 

~Meg Rosoff, Writer

WRITING ANYWHERE

One of my favorite places to write is in a coffee shop. I see all kinds of people enter to get their java, tea, or a sweet treat. If one of them piques my interest, I will scribble down a description of him or her. What they are wearing, their voice and mannerisms, and their physical features. 

I have sat in coffee shops for a few hours writing and taking in all the activity swirling around me. I remember visiting a Starbucks and stared at a collage of famous writers in the same space writing, drinking a beverage, smoking, and talking. I saw myself in that picture. I would dearly love to sit in a coffee shop with like-minded people sharing ideas and critiques.
