#WritersCoffeeClub 10/27. Recommend a book that had an impact on your prose.

Catseye by Andre Norton (and a lot of her other stuff, but it was Catseye and the Dipple series that slammed it home)

Norton has a very non-standard writing voice that is (especially in Dipple stories) incredibly light on visual description while still managing some intense world building.

It helped me realize that I don't need to fit 'mainstream' writing expectations to be a good writer. I can use my natural voice and it will still be good.
