After having attended the Pen World voices panel, it was interesting to hear what inspires different writers to write what they do. After hearing such a wide cultural group of established authors all speak at the same time I felt very privileged
to be able to attend.  All of the writers that were there seemed to be very passionate about their work and everything that they spoke about. The writer that I was most able to relate to was Eduardo Halfon of Guatemala. I also lost a good portion of my secondary language skills at a young age, and I still regret it. His writing style was also extremely unique in a sense that you sort of how to peel back layers of it. Lastly the Scottish writer, I found like mostly everyone there to be extremely funny. He was very blunt, but also humorous and intelligent.
