I’m just now starting to pull out of a writing funk I’ve been in most of the winter.

Sometimes you need a break.

I don’t know how my experience compares, but I discovered that I’d set an unrealistic goal in trying to keep up with the Rachael’s, so to speak. Today was the first day since the challenge began that I met the 1000-word/day goal I also set. My life just isn’t conducive to three regular writing days per week.

As for the voice question, I’m sure your voice will change over time, as you yourself change. Just write when you can and let the voice be what it is. Maybe the voice you don’t like is that of one of your characters or of your narrator, who is not always you.

Best to you!
