Craft Chat Thinking About Voice

[AgentPete]

This is a lo-cal recording of Sunday's seminar. Suggest you read the texts submitted here. Much gratitude to all Litopians who shared their wisdom and inspiration. Looking forward to next month!

Not available for viewing ....yet I assume.

 

[AgentPete]

A very nice graphic standing in before it plays.

Thank you Pete as always and thanks so much Peggy for reading it to us, a great articulate voice definitely trained in the arts, singing perhaps?

 

[Rich.]

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting, @AgentPete!

 

[Sea-shore]

Yes, fascinating voices all around! Thanks @AgentPete and Peggy. The pendulum description sounded infinitely more interesting when Peggy read this aloud.

 

[Patricia D]

Interesting variety of voices - can uniqueness be a common thread? This has given me a lot to think about. Thank you @AgentPete.

 

[DustinMax]

Thanks. Look forward to watching it. Not tonight though, must have an early night.

 

[Marc Joan]

Finally managed to find time to listen -- v. interesting, thanks.

 

[Patricia D]

I finally finished listening - and found it fascinating. Thank you, Peter. I look forward to watching session #2

 

[Steve C]

Is there a session #2 hidden away somewhere?

 

[Carol Rose]

Not yet

 

[Steve C]

Shame. I found the topic fascinating especially AP's certainty as to the importance of voice.

 

[Susan]

Never noticed this before. Really helpful!

I was taken with the Patrick Rothuss example. It sounded like a first-person storyteller, but presumably it’s in the third person - like omni writers of classic literature, where the author expresses their thoughts or opinions as a distinct narrator. I was under the impression that this is considered old-fashioned. Personally, I love it.

Looking forward to the next seminar. Thanks, Pete and Peggy.

I am not sure how I came across it. The site seems to throw things at me from weird angles sometimes and once down the alley related stuff comes along. I noted in a post the other day someone saying there is gold buried here but it's not always that easy to find.

 

[RK Wallis]

@Susan Thanks for finding this, I piggy backed on your find and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fascinating. Lovely readings!

 

[Susan]

@RK Capps, I saw it after @Steve C commented.

 

[RK Wallis]

Thanks @Steve C! Don't know what happened, but bonus!!!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

@Steve C The 'buried gold' is signposted via archived links at the bottom of threads, a recently introduced feature to try and make it easier to find. We were starting to see a lot of repeated discussions, but no need to keep reinventing the wheel.

Or you can do specific searches using the search button, top right of this screen.

For instance, I type in the word 'query' to see what I can find out about tips for querying

and I get https://colony.litopia.com/search/5329/?q=query&c[title_only]=1&o=date

Litopia's been going so long, there is a lot stored in the archives. Yes, one could spend quite some time digging......it is a library.

 

[Eva Ulian]

"Voice" was once something, somewhat vague... it is no more. Thanks to @AgentPete for doing this- so enjoyable too.

Search button? There's a search button?
Unfortunately, I'm not a paid-up member, so I don't see a search button - is there a search button for ordinary members?
Does anyone else not see a search button, or have I gone blind?

 

[Emily]

Does anyone else not see a search button, or have I gone blind?

It's for paid members. For that alone, it is worth the money

 

[Steve C]

I am a benefactor but have no search button. It may be an idea to make it clear on the membership options page that a search button is an extra benefit for some.

 

[RK Wallis]

Same @Steve C. Must be available to those higher than us.

 

[Steve C]

I think it a bit odd to charge for a search button so maybe there is a glitch in the system.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Ahh? I wasn't aware it wasn't visible to everyone, though I imagine the linked archives are? It was there when I was a non-subscription member.

Historically, there have been rare instances of trolls and trolling, from members who have come and gone, meanwhile using the forum's ease of navigation to troll targeted members, accessing their info and archives, and @AgentPete is careful to try and protect our privacy, but it's a tricky balance. But to ask him directly, use his handle in your comments @AgentPete, but allow him a few days response time.
