It’s the impact of NCLB that most interests me here — I hadn’t considered that before, but this theory sounds plausible and then some. I’d love to hear from editors, teachers, librarians, parents of kids in public schools, etc., about whether this theory fits with their own observations and experiences.

I just have always tried to write what I felt, thought, with passion to communicate all that is inside of me to others. Usually, I have to simplify things in edting, but not for voice, just to make things clearer, more beautiful, for me, for others.

If you love what you are doing when your are writing, feel it’s something important to communicate, to share with others, love your subject, chose your words your way because it pleases you to do that, voice evolves naturally out of all of that process. It’s something you let other people say about you, while you inwardly smille and think impatiently “now, when can I get some time to get back to the writing….” For me, it’s that way. The writing is my love.

I am EXTREMELY sorry to hear about the effect of the NCLB act on history NF. I’ve never been a fan of that educational style. But there is still a positive side. Children still love to read nonficton to find things out on their own, ESPECIALLY boys! So, they will seek it outside the school setting if they can find books that are done well.

BTW, an editor of chldren’s books once told me privately that she thought college level English and literature classes would have “ruined” my writing! Now, I’m still trying to figure that one out! Who cares?! Got to get back to some writing now that I’m cooking up…
