7 Things All Writers Need to Remember
These are true regardless of your experience level.
I work with writers all the time. Some of them are brand new to writing and haven’t really written anything since high school or college. Others have been writing in some format for years or even decades. Many have been traditionally or self-published and are working on something new. For as long as I can remember, I’ve naturally gravitated toward writers.
Now that I’m part of the Ninja Writers team, I get to hear from even more writers every time I teach my courses.
Reflecting on feedback from writers and on my own experiences over the years, here are 7 things all writers need to remember:
1. Finding your writing voice is a process that takes time and practice.
Your “writing voice” is that little thing in every post you write that makes it sound like you. Even if your name wasn’t on it, readers would recognize it and know you wrote it.
Every writer has to put in time and practice to find and develop their own unique writing voice. I’ve never, ever met someone who found their writing voice without having to work at it.
