The Author's Voice.

       In the final chapter of Seriously... I'm Kidding, Ellen said that she didn't care if we dripped coffee on her book or almost left it behind, but she was glad she could spend some time with her. It got me thinking. Every time I picked up her book and read, I could hear her voice reading it to me, like we were talking all day long. I could tell that she had written it. It's amazing that you could visualize her voice just from words on a page. That's what my teacher Ms. Cohen was talking about in class, use your voice in your writing. She even showed us great examples like Ben's blog. You could tell that he wrote it and maybe visualize his voice reading it, even thought you don't watch a TV show called Ben everyday at 2 PM on channel 3. Anyways, all I'm saying is that every writing piece could use a little of your own voice. Take Ellen's book for example.
