Settling the Voice
Blog Post by Bob Mustin - Jul.27.2011 - 9:08 am
Following my concern over voice in a previous post, I settled in to toy with the story in question, which was largely in narrative - by my principal character. This person, while not as articulate as my normal narrator, is perceptive enough to cast his voice as he would speak. Problem solved!

BTW, this is one of a series of connected short stories, which takes place in and around a fictional Alabama pool hall. I hope to have the collection published sometime around year's end. As of now, I have a verbal commitment from the publisher. Stay tuned.
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
