On our third episode diving into Voice through the novella “This Is How You Lose The Time War,” we begin to explore the different voices that make up the two main characters in the story. Last episode we dove into Red’s voice– if you haven’t already, we recommend you listen to that first! Today, we are doing a close read of Blue at the tea shop and how voice establishes character, growth, and vulnerability. How do the authors make Blue’s voice distinct from Red’s? Is it in the tone, the structure, or something else completely? Thing of the Week: <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/671898/the-late-mrs-willoughby-by-claudia-gray/" rel="nofollow">The Late Mrs. Willoughby By Claudia Gray</a>Homework: Write a short note from one of your characters to another about something important to them. Now rewrite it as a text message (change the format), as a letter that will be screened before it gets to them by an outsider (change the context), and as a final message they will get to send (change the stakes).Sign up for our newsletter: <a href="https://writingexcuses.com/" rel="nofollow">https://writingexcuses.com</a>Credits: Your hosts for this episode were Mary Robinette Kowal, DongWon Song, Erin Roberts, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler.
