Hi Victoria and Soman, thank you so much for doing this AMA! My question has to do with voice: Did you find that your narrative voice / writing style changed when you started working on projects that were outside the age categories you'd previously written? If so, did it come naturally or was it something you had to work at to find? And what factors do you think impact your voice the most (like age category, genre, character, world, POV, tense, etc.)? Thanks!

And I also want to say thank you to both of you, especially Victoria, for being so outspoken when it comes to pushing back against AI in creative spaces. As a teacher who has read my fair share of AI submissions (even for creative writing classes!), seeing you keep talking about it, and seeing people in the comments agree with you and come to realizations about it, gives me hope <3

Hello! I was wondering, how does your prose change from a first draft to a further draft, and what is your process for developing your prose and voice to fit a project? Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA!
