Comment on Active and Passive Voice by onewordatatime
this article will only confuse new writers. you forgot to mention how the tone of the piece is affected by the passive/active voice. it's good to be aware of what kind of way you're writing, but all the suggestions in here might just be overdoing it a little.
just my opinion. some people learn differently then me, so hopefully someone will gather something usefull from this.

This was really meant as a basic beginner's guide to passive and active voice. The idea is just to get people thinking, so tone is only just barely touched upon.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Thank you for your suggestions.
to be honest, i've never payed attention to passive or active voices in my entire writing experience. i suppose that i did learn a little bit about it through this, and i certainly went back to look through my poems. i still don't think it's that important, but i suppose that it's good to kind of keep on a side burner if you're REALLY stuck (or if you really suck 
)
