Sometimes, it's hard to tell what voice to use when telling your story. Sometimes a character's voice just hits us and we think it's the best possible perspective from which to tell our story - but maybe it's not. And sometimes, we forget to even ask these questions.
Write a story twice. In the first story, write from the perspective of someone who thinks very slowly and analyzes every detail. In the second story, write from the perspective of someone who is always moving and hardly thinking.
Bonus points for difficulty go to those who write in the third person perspective and who don't base their characters' entire personas on the way in which they think.
The goal here is to not only write the story in two voices but after writing them, to identify which is the better story. Sometimes it will be the story that doesn't come naturally to you, because you've had to work harder and pay more attention to what you were writing.
If you misalign your endorse out since it is not in truth a unplayful hearty job.

As a mom of 2 girls who love to write, I would love to see more of that going on at school. I do think it's slpmiy not enough time or resources, which is quite sad. My girls write all the time at home. They have started and even finished some of their own chapter books (they are 10 and 8). I would love to see more classes offered such as your workshops for writing! I would love to know where you live and if you would consider doing a workshop at our school in Plainfield IL?And guess what? We lived in Libertyville IL for 12 years!! I love it there, and my husband's family is all still there!My daughter just read your book, The Naked Mole-Rat Letters and just loved it! I just made a list for her of your other books for the next time we are out at the bookstore!Thank yOU!Tara Pollard Pakosta
