Voice Writing

I'm going to take you on a walk and talk to explore a new writing style (and experience a brief encounter with 5000 guinea pigs)

Look. It’s lovely where I live.

I’m writing with my voice directly into Google Docs on my phone - which also transcribes what I’m saying. Relatively effectively. For free! I’m doing it as is an exercise, to build a new muscle for creative writing.

It’s not meant to replace anything. It won’t be the only way that I write from now on. It’s just that every time I add a skill my writing life gets better and more interesting.

I learned how to touch type as an adult so I could crank out plot on the story table for a TV soap. It’s made a big difference ever since. I’m trying to improve my handwriting, which I use daily for my journal and character work. Soon I’d like to send out a story in the form of handwritten letters that come at regular intervals. So if I ask you for your address, that’s why.

Note: take a picture of that cool book I bought.
