These were both sessions that I didn't watch. I totally believe in an element of play in writing. My students enjoy experimenting with voice. During the SOLC, a few boys had intruding voices in their pieces. Not sure where they learned that craft move, but they sure had fun with it. Thanks for linking. I hope you will join us again for DigiLit Sunday.
