Hello!
I find that having an idea of a character's accent helps me to visualise them better and hear them in my head as I read. For example, when I write as Marra, I hear her having a Persian accent. Deggie's is Russian and Raffi, Marra's short-lived love interest, had a Spanish accent.
After discussing this with Matt, I'm really interested in what everyone's take is on the subject.
Do you hear your characters having an accent?
What kind of accent is it? Is it your own, or a totally made-up one?
How much do you think accents have changed 1,000 years into the future?
Matt mentioned that the station announcers give us some good clues.
I'd love to know what you reckon
