To Be Honest, I Write as a Serious Humorist About Me

I frequently hear back from readers that my written voice is uniquely original. I appreciate the feedback, briefly ensuring my work is accomplished using emotions and done adamantly with an intent to invoke laughter.

I started my latest book like many writers would, with conceptual ideas but no techniques, differing my voice from other creative writers posed its challenge. One day, I attended a play with my foster parents. The twang in the main character's voice resonated with my family's linguistics. We have a mixture of the Cajun vernacular and northern patterns of speech. As you can imagine, sometimes I say the word "quarter" and emphasize the "UAR," as its importance, or other times I may drop the "r" sound, proving the hillbilly stuck inside of me.

Nevertheless, finding the voice that distinguishes me from others gave my story the originality it required to become a success. Once I top some bestseller lists, maybe reader recognition will launch my writing style into the literary stratosphere, allowing other writers to adopt its approach. I find nothing wrong with an unconventional approach, especially when such material speaks honestly to the characterization. Becoming a writer who breaks the rules means I know what I am doing with such imagination.

Writing a well-constructed storyline without mistakes is a dedication to inspiring folktales from a long line of characters, too impossible to imitate unless you have known them personally. I remain thankful for the ability to write with humor and how that makes me an old fuddy-duddy. At least I can poke fun at myself when writing an emotional story that involves serious topics.

I will continue to write seriously using humorist views about life and regarding me. I guess honesty compels me to express myself in that way.

Maybe you should read more into my narratives and enjoy the impression I leave entangled in your curiosity.
