Speaking of Voice....

Since my current projects all seem to be YA (instead of MG, which is what I usually write) I've been revisiting my journals from high school. Ah, such fun. Here's your teenage-Cheryl quote for the day:

6 February 1985
...So when I get frustrated by so much work (as I invariably am this time of year!), or when I'm angry and bewildered by how others act, I'll read a book. No matter what I choose, it will be something to help me figure people out. That's not an easy task...I'll need all the help I can get.

Wisdom from the '80's: when in trouble or in doubt, read a book! Who can argue with that?
