I don't know what makes a writer's voice. it's dozens of things. there are people who write who don't have it. they're tone-deaf, even though they're very fluent. it's an ability, like anything else, being a doctor or a veterinarian, or a musician.

I Don't Know What Makes A Writer's

Paula Fox
I don't know what makes a writer's voice. it's dozens of things. there are people who write who don't have it. they're tone-deaf, even though they're very fluent. it's an ability, like anything else, being a doctor or a veterinarian, or a musician.

More From Paula Fox

Even if nobody's singing, just when you talk, you're singing. i'll meet somebody and say, "oh, i'm tone-deaf." i say, "you're not tone-deaf, because if you were tone-deaf you would speak like that. but you're 'oh, i'm tone-deaf.' you already sang a song to me."

I don't view myself as a musician anymore - i view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when i'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. that's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now i look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.

I wanted to be a teacher. i love children, so i wanted to deal with children. then i wanted to be a veterinarian. but by the age of ten or eleven, when i opened my mouth and said, 'oh, god, what's this?' i kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

I'm not a deaf musician. i'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.

But the monotonous life led by invalids often makes them like children, inasmuch as thy have neither of them any sense of proportion in events, and seem each to believe that the walls and curtains which shut in their world, and shut out everything else, must of necessity be larger than anything hidden beyond.

In many ways, history is marked as 'before' and 'after' rosa parks. she sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down.
Wall Order Way
These days, more than any other time, we are worried about our personal life, our private life. when we talk about our private life, it means our home, our body even. it seems that when we want to have calmness in this world, we make a wall around us. this gives us a very calm environment, and when we feel that somebody is intruding into that, it makes us very angry and we feel we have to do something about it.
