We constantly hear about the importance of VOICE in a story.

The author’s voice can make or break the book.  The voice can make what might otherwise be a dull storyline captivating.  The voice can sell a proposal, create a career, keep readers coming back for more.

But really—how much attention do we actually pay to the piper?

Here’s your chance.
For ONE WEEK—next week—the Chicas will give you a chance to find out.
For four days next week (without avatars and not on our traditional days), each Chica will post an excerpt from something they’ve written but have yet to publish.  On Friday we’ll see who gets the gold. 

Prizes of pens, bookmarks, and the Chica’s CD, chock full of stories from all of us, will be available.

You’ve read our books, visited our blogs, perused our posts here (if not, feel free to browse).

Got a good ear?  Quick to pick up on personalities?  Think you can tell us apart?

Lessee.
