My brilliant friend and author, Diana Peterfreund, has just posted my entry in The Great Blog Voice Experiment.

As you might recall, I mentioned earlier in the week that Diana had the idea of getting twelve authors–none of whom knew who else was participating–to write a scene based on a single, simple idea:

A young woman confronts her parents after learning she has inherited telekinetic powers.

So we each wrote a short scene, and Diana’s been posting them in pairs all week. It’s very interesting to see how the scenes “paired” up–so many of the same elements, yet all very different.

Mine is coupled with Nalini Singh’s, and ours are probably the most different than the others–at least on a superficial basis.

Head on over and take a look. There’s a great discussion going on, too, about voice and style.

And later…back to the recap of the Great Paris Research Trip.
