After reading some of H.P. Lovecraft’s work I came to find that it was a bit difficult to figure out if his persona projected onto the page. I know that when I write, I usually try to make my characters sound very unique and different than the “norm.” Trying to find my own voice is very difficult and I think that it is difficult for all writers, even if you are one of the best writers out there. Thaisa and Wall state, “Getting rid of your imposter voice may depend on silencing your critic.”(50) I feel that I always try to write in a way that isn’t necessarily me. I try to make myself sound impressive by looking up basic words in a dictionary, and using words that are similar, but more impressive looking. Thaisa and Wall say that you need to speak from the heart. I think that although H.P. Lovecraft is a well rounded writer, and he may have been able to stray away from his imposter voice, he still used his own persona to project a great piece in, The Madness from the Sea. When I was reading Lovecraft, there was a line that really stood out to me. “What has risen may sink and what has sunk may rise.” I think that this is something that comes from the writer’s heart. Although it may sound cliché, I still think that Lovecraft feels comfortable with his own voice and style. He can say things that may sound fit for the situation, but in reality, it more than likely is how he feels. I think that all writers get their ideas from the way they think and the way that they personally feel. If every writer didn’t take a piece of himself or herself with him or her when they wrote, then everyone would sound the same. I believe that Lovecraft projected his persona onto the page and I think that all writers have a little of their own personas’ in everything that they write.
