===2010-05-21 - A Crisis of Voice?=== | |||
Recently the plurality of narrative voices I employ and the fluidity by which I alternate them have caught up with me. On our current mission my use of a present tense with a character called Jona offered me several advantages. Unfortunately it caused no shortage of confusion among other simmers, who were used to a flashback style that involved smooth delineations between scenes. With Jona I used present tense in order to allow the writing of his story to move freely into the past tense (flashbacks) without the need of adding flashback tags to the posts. | |||
As discussions of this have continued it has become apparent that I have yet to settle on a single narrative voice. This is a consequence not of some lingering existential crisis I'm having but rather of the way I've treated my membership with this club. That is, I have viewed it as a place in which to try out writing ideas in harmless fun. | |||
So a kind of quest has begun for me to find a voice, making me a "voice-seeker" in the words of one fellow simmer. | |||
