I've also found that if I am reading something with a very distinct voice while I am drafting, sometimes I get confused (with the one I'm creating). So in general, I try to put a buffer between my reading time and my writing time.Rebecca Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138361115317776477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784301609008008440.post-89948419928750975212012-04-27T13:59:17.960-04:002012-04-27T13:59:17.960-04:00That comment of Rebecca's is really great.

It should be organic and flow from you naturally, otherwise it just feels try hard and phony. Great post on this topic, Jennifer. :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
