"A writer's voice
is not character alone,
it is not style alone;
it is far more.
A writer's voice,
like the stroke of an artist's brush--
is the thumbprint
of her whole person--
her idea, wit,
humor, passions, rhythms."
~ Patricia Lee Gauch
I hadn't really thought about this before, but I agree with Gauch. I know when I write, I put my whole self into it. And whenever I read something written by someone else, I'm reading a thumbprint of that person....
