Could it be? Is it possible? Have I found it?

You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about and I’m excited to tell you that the subject of today is…voice.

I’ve been writing a lot lately. I’ve given myself a deadline—hopefully a realistic one—and my plan, my hope is to achieve that goal.

Everything was going along splendidly until I had one of those moments. As of yet I don’t know if it was an AHA moment or just a what if moment because sometimes those are two entirely different things and other times…

If I go with the what if, I’ll have to change quite a few things about my current story in hopes of creating the AHA. Should I? Do I dare?

So yesterday I decided to give it a shot. I had so many ideas. I just had to get them on paper, or at least into a WORD document. I took a few notes and then I went for it. I wrote an opening scene and was surprised to see the words flying onto the page. I didn’t pause, I didn’t think. I envisioned the scene and wrote what I saw. When I was finished, I sat back and read it. I read it again and smiled. The feeling was unbelievable. I liked what I saw and I had a feeling others would too. I then sent it to Beth and Brenda. I had to. I needed to know if it was what I thought it was. Was it possible that everything had finally clicked and I’d found my voice?

I hope so. But regardless of whether or not this is it, I’m happy I tried the what if.

Now I've got to get back to writing. I've got deadlines!

Have you found your voice? Your niche? Ever went with a what if? What happened? Please share your stories.
