I think voice can and should change, because every narrator or story has a unique feel -- but that doesn't mean a certain something won't thread through all your books, that thing that makes them yours. For me, that's style.Amie Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116472165351759477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-33656147937350904852011-11-04T14:27:11.559-04:002011-11-04T14:27:11.559-04:00From what I've heard, Joyce wrote like a lunat...From what I've heard, Joyce wrote like a lunatic.

And I know that my style changes a lot between genres - not just my voice, even the length and shape of sentences, my use of punctuation, how much or how little description I write, etc. Sometimes it's a conscious style change, while others, it just flows naturally with the genre.
