Kathy, I think that the metaphor or simile or any other type of descriptive comparison/contrast should definitely showcase voice! Whatever word choice should give the reader insight into the POV character’s mindset and personality. We’re seeing through their eyes afterall, not the author’s or our own. 🙂

Great post, esp. the photo. Regarding the bad example, I wonder if that kind of metaphor ever works when trying to establish a character’s voice? An off-beat, wacky voice. Not sure.

You know, I think your blog is what’s missing from my latest ms. Must revise…

Please, please… don’t play with it if there’s any chance of losing your blog. I just found you and I’m learning so much. This was a wonderful post.

That "undefined" thing is kind of funny...you who try to help define things for us!

Another excellent post.

Thanks Shannon!

Elana–I’ll look into it this afternoon. Last time I played with my HTML I almost lost my blog *gulp* but I think you’re right–it has to be in there somewhere. Thanks!

I love the imagery of the fluidity in the last statement. Great job!

And as for the "undefined" thing, it must be in your HTML code. Have you looked there?

Good morning, Angela. I’m sorry I can’t help with your undefined problem, but I do love your post. Sweet pea petals and kite tails…lovely. One more for the folder! 🙂

Hey…does anyone know how to get rid of the ‘undefined undefined undefined’ under my name? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t figure out why it’s doing that!
