So The Preacher’s Boy has hit another iteration-a rewrite of magnificent proportions-a change of voice. …eek…!
“can you procrastinate any more?”
I hear you ask…possibly not, but this rewrite has made it better.
“What’s in a voice?”
A hell of a lot…first person strips away the need to frame assumptions, it gives you the right to name a feeling…rather than listing all the reasons why…but of course, disturbingly, it was not a single change I made, but a triple, 2 first person voices and a third…not so sure it works.
Not so sure I’ve ever seen it work.
Anyone ever seen a variation of multiple voices working before? Or are we going to have to make a first?
