What is a singular attribute that separates Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, and Edgar Alan Poe?  Their literary voices.  Here are thoughts on our own voices: if and how we should try to develop them.  Also: the strong tool of contrast, when the character contrasts with the setting.

Here is a 20-episode master class on fiction writing—a start-to-finish course covering plot, characters, dialogue, scenes, sentence-level craft, and much more.  Each episode is focused and about 30 minutes.  The full class—all 20 episodes—is available now for a one-time price of forty-nine dollars.  If you want structured, concise guidance, click the Buy the Master Class link in the show notes to get started.
