I find it hard sometimes to keep the voice of my main character and not my own- so when I feel like I am straying away from my MC, I spend some time with my outline. It helps me stay on track!!<br />PS: The Lohan reference made me laugh. :)Holli Truehttp://www.hollitrue.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-57358383622837638362010-06-18T12:37:23.069-04:002010-06-18T12:37:23.069-04:00I hate writing synopsises -- yikes, is that even a...I hate writing synopsises -- yikes, is that even a word?Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-62400273768089309332010-06-18T05:17:20.507-04:002010-06-18T05:17:20.507-04:00PS: I'm am loving your wallpaper! xxPS: I'm am loving your wallpaper! xxTaleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317577935549931974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-80791574497852516932010-06-18T05:16:08.654-04:002010-06-18T05:16:08.654-04:00:) Wow, I'm still learning to develop my voic...:) Wow, I'm still learning to develop my voice.

Wait--don't answer that.<br /><br />Personally I solve the voice issue with synopsi (hey, you used the word, so can I) but telling myself--dude, they're making me do this is two pages. They're lucky if I get one or two good lines in there! Probably NOT the best attitude, but it's more fun that way. ;)Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-16614206135790464112010-06-17T11:03:42.138-04:002010-06-17T11:03:42.138-04:00I definitely thought you meant Lilo and Stitch.
