I think I have Gremlins.<br /><br />So I'll respond again.<br /><br />Denise - I mentioned the 'it takes a million words to make a writer' thing. I think I'm getting close :)<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoy my voice. And Father's Day in the U.S. is in June. Don't know about England.<br /><br />Pat N - When I first started writing, I was influenced by what I read. Not so much anymore. But it took a long while for me to be able to read for pleasure again.<br /><br />Pat H - Lucky you!

I think voice is one of those things you only find by lots of writing, as your influences are cast aside and you shine through. Can take a lot of writing to achiever that!<br />Enjoy your weekend.

Now I can catch up on your novels that I have missed. YAY again!<br /><br />Carol,<br /><br />Great story. You have an AMAZING voice, especially in this post! <br /><br />As for me, it took me a while to find mine... I believe we will live happily ever after. At least I hope so.
