day 29- tellin' it like it is
Do you write like you talk? Blogging is inherently personal and therefore leaves a lot of room for your unique voice. How do you show your reader your personality through your writing?

Yes. Undoubtedly.

I was actually just thinking about how I wish I could italicize in my texts because I talk like that all the time. Sometimes all caps will do it, but most of the time I want emphasis without shouting. I get creative with punctuation because sometimes it just makes sense. Of course, this often results in someone correcting me, but whatever.

I also find myself imagining what my conversations (both with other people and with myself) might look like written- often while I'm still talking. That's probably not a very good way to stay present in a conversation, but I still get the message... most of the time.

About This Author
Born in the mountains. Raised by nomads. Lived in 11 cities in 9 states. Wife. Mother. Prefer to spend my time writing fantasy, supernatural, maybe some sci fi if I can get away with it, horror, comedy for sketch, standup, monologue, short stories. Oh, and I really, really, really love to read. I perform improv and standup because someone smarter than me said it would help make my writing better. I hope you find my brain worlds entertaining.
