Voice - choice?

by Jackie O'Neill
26th April 2016

I appear to have developed two quite different styles of children's writing so far (I haven't published yet, but thinking about trying), and wonder if this is a problem. Can I have 2 styles? Is that practical? Do people do it (under the same name or with a pseudonym for the other style)? I need some advice, please, as I love writing both funny and more poetic/lyrical material. Do I have to choose?! (Thanks!)

Don't see why you have to choose, Jackie. You have silly moods and serious moods, so why should your writing be any different?

Some people write both historical and modern fiction; some are poets and novelists. There's no rule that says you can only do one thing. Go for it - and enjoy yourself!
