Many spend hours discussing what style is better, or what POV is better. Ego is showing in dicussions on these and other topics when authors try to outdo each other saying BUT this or that is stronger or better or blah blah blah... Use the tools in your writer's toolbox... ALL of them when they are appropriate. Here is an excellent article on Active and Passive voice. Great article tim, thanks for sharing. As a reader I love the variety of forms that stories come in. If everyone used the same style of writing it would get boring very quickly. There's no right or wrong way and I guess that's why they say variety is the spice of life! 4 4

The page linked to a page about mediopassive voice..., which the way I understand it..., is the middle sex.... Anyways, I was taught to NEVER use passive voice.... But passive voice was all I wrote.... She was rather adamant I should change that. Now I write in passive aggressive voice. *rimshot* 3 1
