#WritersCoffeeClub 2/1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly 'voice'?

I like my voice.

I also protect it. I don't read exactly what I write, just adjacent.

I avoid guidebooks.

That's all.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly 'voice'?

I think I'm pretty satisfied with it.

It's my voice. It's how I tell stories. It'll undoubtedly continue to change and mature as I do, but it's always mine.

And I think I'm happy with where I'm at right now.

How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

I write in first person so the goal is to shift voice with each new MC. I'm not sure I completely manage this. I think my writing style still peeks through in each, but I do my best to give a sense of a "different person" narrating. The surface things, like word choice & manner, are easier to shift than the deeper, like tone, if that makes sense.

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

Quite happy. It's come a long way since I started writing 'for real', which now is about 17 years ago.

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

I adjust my narrator voice for every project. To me, the narrator is a character, the one readers will spend the largest amount of their time with, so I need to be conscious of how it sounds. I noticed Cat Valente does that, and it's super effective.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that? Eh? EH?

February 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

I would say that I am perfectly satisfied. My readers, on the other hand ...

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

It depends on the story. Sometimes it's in first-person, sometimes in third person, And it changes on whether I write poetry or prose.

It's always evolving, so I'm not sure if I'd be completely satisfied.

February 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

Working through the sequel, the voice seems OK. There is my authorial voice (the whole books feels like me) and the voices of the different characters.

Pure satisfaction may be found by the reader but I am never utterly satisfied with any writing.

Right! I've got the opening line of a book, the name of one character and the absolute barebones of a plot. Time to start writing!
I spent 18 months dithering over my first book, planning, plotting and writing biographies for all the characters, before throwing it all out and starting from scratch. Not going to make that mistake again!

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

I'm generally okay with it. It evolves with every book I write because I learn something new each time I write a book.

#WritersCoffeeClub February 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

It's been selling my books for 25+ years so I guess I'm okay with it?

Having said that, I keep trying to mix things up. Letting yourself go stale is bad.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1 Feb: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

It is what it is. I'm currently writing #histfic and I think it suits that genre. In my #writing group I've tried alternative voices for different genres, and people have liked them. I'll stick with the one I have for now.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/1. How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

Entirely happy. Then again I never worried about it in the first place.

You just need to write a lot of words and your voice happens.

#writing #writingCommunity

PSA time for everyone! On my profile, we now have two separate ways to access the #PennedPossibilities prompts for the community. If you're against Google, this might be a bit easier for you.

Not promising anything, just because I'm too knackered some nights to add them to a list, so it'll be done the next day. But I'm gonna try it. I hope this helps. Tons of people have been asking me for this. It'll be a ton of work, but I'm sure it's worth it.

January 31: What did you learn this month about your writing process or habits that you want to carry forward?

If I don't write every day, I generally don't write at all.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 31 - What did you learn this month about your writing process or habits that you want to carry forward?

That I want to use my new office niche a lot more for writing, and it looks like it'll still be a 'squeeze it in whenever I can' situation. But that's how I've been doing THAT for 20+ years, so... 🤣

#writing #writingcommunity

Good morning, #writersCoffeeClub! It’s nearly the new month, so here’s your prompts for february of 2026!

This month, we’re trying something you suggested: we have two prompts (on the 7th & 14th) which invite discussion of others’ responses. It may go without saying, but please remember WCC is meant to be a collaborative and kind space. Let’s encourage and support one another! 🎉

As always, a text-based list is available on my site: sulfur.ink/wcc-february-2026/

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 31 - What did you learn this month about your writing process or habits that you want to carry forward?

Two highly recondite features of @scrivenerapp that probably aren't news to most power users, and also that SimpleNote on my desktop is intermittently failing to sync for some reason.

(Nothing really new about writing-as-writing, per se: I've been doing this for most of 50 years now, major new insights are rare.)
