In this episode of Write, Writer, Write!, Deborah Froese lays three distinct layers of voice side by side—author voice, narrative voice, and character voice—and separates them from point of view. You’ll hear how these layers connect, where each one tends to show up most clearly, and why voice can change depending on the kind of work you’re writing.

Are you blocked

It's NOT your fault!

Writer’s block has nothing to do with laziness or a lack of discipline, and just because the words aren’t flowing doesn’t mean you’re not a writer. Most of the time, a block to creative flow results from emotional signals and protective instincts rising below the surface—sometimes linked to past experiences or unconscious fears. In this episode, your host Deborah Froese explores five common reasons for writer’s block, how they show up, and how you can gently move forward without feeling as though you're letting time pass you by.
