Is your current voice a successful voice? How so?
I think my current voice is a fairly successful voice, there’s knowledge, wisdom, humor, and connection with it. I just have a hard time staying on beat, trying to find a good fit for a beat for me is something I have struggled with for most of my life. My brain seems to be wired to see 60 million possibilities and want to do them all. I think if I was to nail a beat for myself I would truly love to write more.

What have you learned?
I have a problem with run on sentences! Lol. Seriously, I have learned a great deal from the lectures and my fellow classmates. The most important aspect of writing for me is BIC -- butt in chair. I need to just do it and get out of my own way. I also learned that I need to write fast, edit slow* and often.

*This seems to be a paraphrase of a Paul Valery aphorism

Where do you want to go next?
I don’t know. This class made me realize how much I do enjoy the writing and editing process, even though it is extremely difficult for me. I don’t want to write for others, I would like to do my own thing--just not sure what that is yet. I own a domain called collected-stories which I would like to maybe transition to something. Just not sure what.

Would you rename your blog or pseudonym?
Hell Yeah--this was just for the class so I could be free.

Would you start over with a different beat?
Yes, I believe I would. This was an interesting beat to write about, and I grew passionate about it, but I don’t think I’m that hooked into it to continue on. But one never knows, I just might just to have something to write about.

How will you proceed?
To be honest, I don’t have a game plan. Might be part of my problem, though I’ve never been much of a planner and I’ve done ok so far. So we will see.
