Which it is. I wrote the original about six years ago and beefed it up with some more detail. <br /><br />The voice is pretty accurate. In my head, I hear it loud, but not in your head? That might be a problem. <br /><br />It's turned into a wee homage to Carson McCullers, who wrote with a similar voice, that southern American twang. Read - My Heart Is A Lonely Hunter. It's brilliant. My voice minute not be completely acuriate but using that for comparison it does well. <br /><br />Good luck with the Irish novel. <br /><br />Keep in touch.McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095242258892600138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567906.post-60960651848520488882011-05-29T04:37:44.156-10:002011-05-29T04:37:44.156-10:00I like the story.

I find it hard enough writing in Glaswegian without tackling another tongue in fact I'm just about to send my novel set in Ireland to an Irish friend to check my Irishisms because although it looks fine to me and I checked everything the bottom line is that I just don't talk that way.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
