LOL! I inspired this, huh? I totally get it, but what makes me crazy about this is that no editor seems to agree! They just say they're looking for it and will know it when they see it.
My ms has two distinct voices, layered over my style. I love both voices and have been told by critters that I managed to switch from one to the other seamlessly.
So it was just her personal taste, I guess. I happen to think the voices are funny and fabulous in my ms. :)
But thanks for making me feel better about the rejection!
I kind of feel like if you've done voice well, there are people who won't connect to it. Just like in real life, there are people we don't care for and those who we love instantly.
The stronger the voice in a book, the stronger the reaction to the voice, yeah?
I'm holding out for an editor who is in love with my voice... and while I'm putting out wishes, SOON would be AWESOME. ;)
