After asking our questions and reading the voice piece we all shared our "5 star quotes".
One of our favorites ones was "voice gets to the heart of how we as writers come up with words, because we often write best when we feel we are 'giving voice' to our thoughts; and we often revise best when we sense that the voice doesn't sound right and change it to get closer to the voice we want." We talked about this quote and how it helped us to realize the ways in which we write. As we have been talking about voice a lot for the past couple of classes it has come to be an important aspect of the way we think about our writing. We talked about how a good way to write is to say things out loud, because we believe that good writing sounds as though it is being spoken. Also, we said that in revisions it is important to always reread, scanning for continuity of voice and making sure that you still find truth in it.
