The "Write the Book" Interview With Castle Freeman, Jr.

Tonight while working in the kitchen, I listened to a Write the Book podcast. I love these things, and I particularly liked the one I listened to tonight, an interview with Castle Freeman, Jr. whose book, "All That I Have," I also loved

I don't hear anywhere near as much talk about voice in adult literature as I do in children's and YA (especially YA) books. "All That I Have" is an example of an adult book in which voice is important.

In the "Write the Book" interview, Freeman said that "Speech is action," and that it is "great fun to write talk." I found this thought provoking. It's something that I think could help me in my own writing.
