I’m taking voice class conducted by Barbara Samuel. My CP, Maria, took this class along with Gina Black and a couple of other RWA Online chaptermates a few months ago. They all raved about the class–so, I bit the bullet with another group of chaptermates and signed up.

Now, I have a pretty good grasp of my voice. It’s probably the only thing in my writing that is truly consistent. But, I thought I’d take this class to see if it could help me tweak my voice.

We received our first assignments Friday.

Wow.

Talk about memories. These assignments all dealt with childhood, where we grew up, what we were doing at certain ages. I guess we must look to the past to find our future… Many of the assignments were timed writings, which took me back to college. I had a great professor who had us do timed “free writings” all the time. I always loved those assignments.

Anyway, this class looks to be very interesting and very intimate. I’m really looking forward to getting to know my chaptermates and learning about their voices as well as mine.
