Voice and Style
Voice and style are what truly defines a writer. Your unique voice, how you write, and the style, word choice/technique, are what are important. That's what will ultimately sell you.
That said, I feel I've found my voice and style in my work, but I've discovered I definitely need to refine my style as an author in public. I do have the long, flowing fantasy scarf coats etc., but haven't quite developed my voice. Not that I want to put on a complete mask or anything, I want to be true to myself, but sometimes I don't think my personality comes across.
Of course, I may be in conference melt down. I'm really looking forward to the booksigning today, and I'm sure that will be fine, but in other groups I need to know how to project who I am. ;) AND, not sure my meaning is coming through.
I'm quiet, so I don't sparkle much, particularly now when I'm tired, so I guess what I need to work on is a glow. Maybe a mysterious glow......LOL.
Anyway that's my thoughts for the day, and something I haven't really considered much before, but for you who are unpublished, start thinking about it NOW.
Take care and may the day be pleasurable.

Robin;
It was so cool to go to the RT Convention. I have never attended one before and I went this time because: 1)you were there and 2)it was within driving distance. I had so much fun and it was fantastic to meet you face to face.
I hope you enjoyed the event as much as I did. It was great to meet you and to talk to you (even briefly).
Keep up the good work, keep writing, and generally, just enjoy life.

It was lovely meeting you, I really enjoyed our little chat, folks came and went at the book fair and I had a good time.
Take care,
Robin
