Sometimes if I'm "blocked" it's only because there's something hard coming up and I'm reluctant to get in there and work on it. So it's just a matter of staying at my desk and eventually it all comes out, messy but true.(less)

Voice Story

After I posted my last blog about revising my novel as if it were a memoir, two readers asked me to expand on what I meant by the “voice” of my first novel being “flat” and how a writer can fix a flat voice. Apparently they had looked at their own works-in-progress and suspected they may have the same problem.

That same week, Toy Story 5 came out, and when I heard that once again Tom Hanks and Tim

Quotes by David Hicks  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When it comes right down to it, I’ve decided, almost every relationship involves two people with intense insecurities masked by whatever behavior it takes to keep those insecurities from being exposed, while at the same time revealing their equally desperate need to have them exposed, even embraced.”
David Hicks, White Plains

“Because, you know—I’m starting to figure this out, and yes, it may be too late—what is love, after all, what is life, but a striving against, and not settling for, our inevitable doom? What is it if it’s not a constant assertion of our longing for home, for intimacy, in the face of our unfathomable annihilation?”
David Hicks, White Plains

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
Joan Didion, The White Album
