Sunrise Classroom #2 (BLUE)

Answer the following questions in your discussion topic.
1. Do you hear the distinct voices of the characters in the examples?
2. When you read the examples could you almost picture them even though there is hardly any physical description?
3. Could you picture the setting?
Yes I do hear the distinct voices, I also create an image in my mind based on very little description for characters and settings.

Take a look at some of the stories you have written.

Are your stories usually action driven, or are your stories character driven? Meaning, do your stories depend on the action, and less on the development of your characters?
Most of my stories are experiences I'm writing about, so the action has to be there, or I want the reader to experience the character (or what the character experienced ), otherwise I wouldn't bother writing about it. Now I'm learning that's not necessarily true, because I can write about a weak event or theme, but develop an interesting piece around a character.

4. Is that something you need to consider when reviewing your own work? Meaning, do your characters have a clear and distinct voice in your writing?
I think they do. Most of my readers comments seem to indicate they are getting the voices in my characters.

5. How would you define your personal voice when you post your thoughts in the forum? What is your natural tone [funny, sarcastic, serious], your style [long or short sentences, diction]??
I would have to say that I have never given much consideration to these questions, which makes it tough to answer.I would like my voice to come across as some what comforting, intelligent, and handsome. but I think it's entirely up to the reader to give me a voice in their mind. My natural tone, I feel, is a combination of funny, sarcasm with a mixture of wit and nonsense. I can also be serious and I'd like think I offer a little wisdom as part of my style.
Looks like I have to go long on the sentence length question.or a bunch of little ones.
