I was just reading an SEer’s blog and she said she’d just found her voice and it was “deeper and darker” than she would have thought.

That rang true. Finding your voice is similar to finding the “true you”. Society might have pushed you to be jocular, but maybe you feel most at home with sadness.

This relates to a concept @hope-ann recently brought to my attention. It seems every author has a core theme that every scene they write is about. Hope’s is identity. Mine is how one person’s life ripples out and affects others. One friend’s is about love. Another’s is about innocence or the loss of innocence. You might need someone else to point it out to you, but you probably have such a theme. And that’s part of your voice.

So it’s part soul. And Taylor already aced describing how it’s part style. And I just started a sentence with and. Ha!
