Finding My Voice
Would my writing be different if I lived in Texas?
I was 11 when I left Texas. I never "wanted" to move to Alaska. The experience came along because I was a dependent of a military father. I had dreamed that I would always move back to Texas when my Dad's tour of Alaska was over. I should write a piece about why that changed, and how.
How does living in Alaska affect my writing or my desire to write?
At first glance, I would answer that Alaska doesn't affect my writing or my desire to write judged by what I've written. Then again, I've lived here most of my life, how could it not affect my writing.
Have I found my voice?
I do think that I've lacked a voice. I'm not sure mine is fully developed even yet. I do feel it yearning to be heard, but I don't know if I have the courage to let it out.
I saw a program on television Friday night about Meredith Viera's husband's battle with MS. He worked in television news, and now he writes about his experiences with MS and colon cancer. I do have some chronic health problems, but heaven forbid that that be my voice!
