Find your voice

Voice is the most important skill in writing; how you write reveals your personality and how it affects the reader’s mind. Your writing voice is you. As a human being, you give life to the writing; readers want to feel the same as the characters, live the adventures and heal through heartbreaks, only you can give them that. Your mannerisms, characters, conflicts, and emotions give feeling to the reader’s mind and that’s the ultimate goal in writing to not only have readers appreciate your writing voice but also to be proud of your voice as a writer. The only way to develop your voice in writing is to practice both your writing and speech. Being honest with how you write and speak improves greatly. A shortcut is not a helping tool, nor is it a way to help you write better, taking someone else’s writing and using it as your own with little to no
changes to a few words is not the answer. “ Don’t take the easy way out.” Developing your voice first comes with understanding who you are as a person and how you speak to the world. Work on this skill that you already have. Every voice has a different impact but how your voice expresses it matters to the message you are trying to send. It may sound nonpictorial, but it’s honestly the best way to become the voice of your writing. Your voice is what the world wants to hear.
