You say what is perfectly needful and fitting for the moment and it makes what you say of infinite worth.<br /><br />Glynn, I don't know how a person does what you did -- channeling so many voices at once without losing your own. It must say something of the strength of your own voice that it remained intact. And I'm glad that it did.Lyla Willingham Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594705364472378651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-54459346488474028992012-04-09T15:57:09.542-05:002012-04-09T15:57:09.542-05:00Think my mute button is stuck in the on position.Think my mute button is stuck in the on position.S.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that.<br /><br />I look back at my news stories, which had a definite voice to them. (Yes, we can even have voice in journalism...) But my voice has changed somewhat since then, though I think my writing is still rooted in a journalistic voice. I look back four or five years ago, and see that new notes were being woven into the song. Maybe my voice is a chorus -- or at least a four-part harmony. In any case, I sure hope that it's in tune! :)Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-57020224446152172842012-04-09T13:35:22.615-05:002012-04-09T13:35:22.615-05:00I think it would be the same Glynn.
