Unfortunately being an English major with a writing concentration means that the materials in these readings tend to be everything but new to me. Nearing the end of my college career these have been the important notes embedded in my head since I entered BSU three years ago.
However, this read did help elaborate on the idea that a character in a portrait can never be a full picture. It is important for a writer to understand that every aspect of the character's life does not need to be handled.
I also liked the passage on voice. Here the author tells about how important it is to stick to your own voice. In this type of writing, a writer may think its inevitable to stray away from their own voices in order to better fit the genre. Instead, in order to not sound fake and artificial , a writer should stay true to themself.
