I'm quite new to the whole idea of blogging. Great fun though.<br> <br> I appreciate your comments about style - you raise an important issue. When I'm working with a writer I definitely wouldn't try to change their style, it's more about trying to help them discover and define their own 'voice'. But I suppose it depends on your long-term goals too; for example, authors who are keen to see their work in print may need to modify their style to meet the requirements of the market. I would never advise someone that they <i>must</i> do this, I think it's a decision that we can only make as individuals - how much are we willing to compromise in order to meet the needs of the marketplace? Of course, some authors have a highly marketable style to begin with and no modification is necessary.tag:thewritingtutor.blog.co.uk,2005-11-10:/2005/11/10/welcome~298132/#c317004WickedImp2005-11-10T21:18:01+01:002005-11-10T21:18:01+01:00Useful tip, thanks and welcome to this blog. I could always use a critique if you are in the mood but as I write from the gut, so to speak, your advice might not change my style.
