Re: Use your character voice!

Hey IB,

Great little manifesto - it's really got me thinking about my output and where it would be regarding character thoughts (yep, I'm not sure!)

It would be interesting to know if anyone can point out a published writer that doesn't utilise this approach - so that we can sort of compare and contrast.

A similar type of discussion, or at least it wandered about this area, came up in the 'show not tell' thread quite recently. Perhaps such a inward-looking PoV is much more difficult to successfully pull off when your character has a deep secret or when you want to have an unreliable narrator?
