I missed a week. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpt Thursday<\/strong> is where (when?)

All you may notice is that you like spending time with the main character. A good example is Bobbie Faye in Toni McGee Causey&#8217;s <strong>Charmed and Dangerous<\/strong>. Bobbi Faye has a life I wouldn&#8217;t want in a million years. she&#8217;s got so many problems casading around her (you&#8217;ll have to read the book for the juicy stuff). What I like about her is her spunk and how deeply she cares about her world and her family in it while everything that is falling apart. I&#8217;m enjoying the ride. Everything&#8217;s got to work out in the end, right? Bobbie Faye&#8217;s voice is disctinctive, spunky, hilarious, and poingant. Actually, the that voice belongs to the author,\u00a0Toni McGee Causey. Well done!<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, another novel I&#8217;m reading (staying nameless) makes me care not even a little for the characters, the setting, or the plot. Why? The main character has a typical voice, one I&#8217;ve heard a million times. She has no spine, except a humor that sounds like so many other books I read. Was the author copying? I don&#8217;t know. Maybe the author wasn&#8217;t digging deep enough for that unique voice.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see what Maass has to say about about voice.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/10rmXe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-470\" style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;\" title=\"The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/51mwrx8lexl_sl160_-107x150.jpg\" alt=\"The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass\" width=\"107\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><strong>&#8220;<\/strong><strong>Any characters can stand out without being a ridiculous caricature.
