How refreshing, Rachel. I'm so glad you took on "voice" because I wonder if it matters. On one hand, so many keep harping on it. Why, I wonder? On the other hand, voice just seems to be a verb or something constantly evolving, like the cells in my body and like the massive, interconnected world I get to notice with each day granted. And if voice just is, then can we stop talking about it as though it's something we can shape, control, or swap out with a different voice?

Thank you Georgia and I really resonate with your description! Part of thinking about freeing the voice may indeed be ‘letting it go.’ ;)
