As writers we hear a lot about good and bad ways to write. 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!

Most people there have such an opinion on just about everything. If it's not how they write then it's not the right way.

Edit: I call it like I've seen it. 😛

Nope.... I'm not sure I'd be able to hold my tongue. I'm known for having the occasional massive, catastrophic brain filter failure. 🤣

Could you imagine if one person convinced everyone that their way was the right way? Stephen King writing in Shakespeare's style! 🤔🤣🤣😲

It's been a little light in the Writer's Circle lately. Perhaps I need to bring back Topic Tuesdays.

I honestly saw this and as I started reading I thought 'aw, how sweet'. Then I got to the end and thought 'THAT is effed up!' Then I  couldn't stop laughing! It's both disturbing and funny and now I am just a tad bit afraid of going to sleep😂😜

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*

Good night.  I might fall asleep and suddenly wake up....  Hey, I am light as feather!  Very unlikely, most likely it's just my old creaky joints....
