TCE On Writer’s Voice
When I see inauthentic bullshit that sounds real nice, it reminds me of an old writer self who believed in all that jazz (and who used words like all that jazz); instead now, I make fun of expressions like “all that jazz” but I feel my own voice. I use my own voice. I am empowered by my own voice. I will not sacrifice my own voice, especially in informal and reflective writing. If anything, this is my value in this class that I have been working on in myself. I want to get the A, but I really want to challenge the teachers of teachers about the notion of an ideal text. I know how to write one, and I am told that we should not “expect” one; so I write a non-ideal text that is full of voice and bravado, and then bite my nails. There is a happy medium between reader and reader based prose here and I would like to explore this territory this semester.
