As a voice (singing) teacher for decades, I'm familiar with more than one side of finding one's voice. It's real work. I know too well how important finding your voice can be and what a long process it often is. I so appreciate Jason's candor about his experience.

My word count for Day 9 was 1044.

I baked a cake today and took it to a party, then I came home and wrote. A lovely day. Thanks for keeping us all going. I cannot believe tomorrow is DOUBLE DIGITS.

(Autocomplete suggested "I cannot believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving" in case anyone is worried about AI writing better than humans do.)

About ten years ago, a writer friend whom I greatly admire said to me "you have a voice." I was initially flattered, and then terrified.

Since then I've been trying to "listen" to myself write and wondering if that's my voice.

I somehow wrote 1379 words this morning. That puts me at just under 10K total.

My goddddddddddd I love this challenge.

At the very least, today I can write 1000 words toward finding my voice. Thanks, Jason!

I think I’m beginning to hear my voice—sometimes, in fact, I’ll see what I wrote and think – Hey! I wrote that and it sounds like me but where did that come from? It’s always very surprising.
