A Blog About Doubt.
One of my ideas was simple. I wanted to put my ideas down about the books I’ve been reading. Yet more important were the doubts about the books not yet written. My own books and my own voice. The things I think and the things that I don't think but should. I’ve never given much thought to my own voice in an academic sense. Is voice more than that habits we hold onto? Is it the habits we break or make for ourselves? Where does voice live in the text of a novel? And what can we learn by reading books? How have other writers established this obscure thing called ‘voice’? This is an excise for me. A place to put doubts so that I don't trip up on them.
