From Anonymous on June 24, 2009 at 1:07 pm. IP Logged, 160.33.43.x Report Abuse All my characters sound the same. Apart from giving each one a ridiculous accent, how can I make each voice in a group of peers sound unique? From Anonymous in reply to Anonymous on April 5, 2010 at 6:05 pm. IP Logged, 160.33.43.x Report Abuse The "in a group of peers" is the important part. I can easily distinguish between the beat cop, the tough punk, the shopaholic, etc. But what about four kids who all grew up in the Bowery?
From Betty on June 24, 2009 at 10:49 am. IP Logged, 204.68.208.x Report Abuse This 'Pacing the Readers Emotions' course is an excellent idea; I've seen it from both ends, both with my work, and felt it with the work of others. It's a very hard concept to grasp that what you're writing isn't having the intended emotional grab you're feeling and I have yet to read anything, anywhere, that suggests a fresh way to look at it, short of leaving your story in a drawer for a few months then going back to it. I'd love to see this.  Thanks! From Bill in reply to Betty on June 24, 2009 at 3:02 pm. IP Logged, 4.231.233.x Report Abuse You're right, Betty. Hard thing to do and be sure about, but important. I also would like to learn something more about this area.
