I am a pastry chef who has finally decided to write the dessert cookbook I've been dreaming about for the past 3 years. I got really into the recipe writing (which I have experience in) until several food industry friends reeled me in with advice regarding cookbook proposals and starting a blog to practice writing about food. I've had your your book Will Write for Food on my "Things to Buy" list for a few weeks now. This past Monday, my sister handed me my belated birthday gift - a beautiful butterfly printed gift bag containing what else but your book! The funny thing is that I never even mentioned it to her. I read about 1/3 of it on the long subway ride home and it has given me the motivation to start my blog. I want to thank you for writing a book that needed to be written. Best, Erika http://thepastrychefathome.blogspot.com Hi Dianne,

I'm developing a book project and a friend said, whatever you do don't lose the "voice" in your blog. I'm still trying to figure what that is. I think I write in a conversational tone..but I'm very happy for your references here to clarify what this is. I wish I could be at the SF Food Blogher event. Maybe I'll make it to Mexico. Have a terrific week-end! A much needed post. I’m developing a book project and a friend said, whatever you do don’t lose the “voice” in your blog. I’m still trying to figure what that is.

I absolutely agree that it takes time. I have a background in journalism, and thought food blogging would be relatively easy - but I was definitely wrong. I'm still learning and working on deepening my voice, and feel my writing get tighter with every post (at least I hope.) Can't wait to hear you speak at BlogHer tomorrow!
