Do you write in the active voice, passive voice or a mixture? Does it matter?Definitely a mixture.
A lot of conversation IRL uses passive voice, so I write it into my dialogue in an effort to make it sound natural. I'll also choose passive if I want a surprise at the end of a sentence, e.g. "Mr. Boddy was murdered in the Observatory by..." And absolutely if the object is the star of the sentence, e.g. "A flowing crystal hamster had been propped atop the dresser."
