Just like the way you talk or the mannerisms you show when you speak to others, writers do various things when they write that set them apart from other writers.

Every writer is influenced by the books they read and the people they encounter. Every writer is going to share their stories in only one way they can tell them.

If you aren’t sure what your writing style is, read over previous things you have written and try to figure out what sets you apart from other writers you have read.

Do you infuse more humor into your writing? Do you use bigger words to be more descriptive to your audience? Do you have a quirky narrative voice?

Considering what your style is going to help you drive your stories toward the right audience and give your stories more focus.

Every writer has:

A Voice

This is the personality of the writer that they take when they are writing the story.

You may come across authors who infuse more humor or sarcasm into their writing. Or you may come across authors who speak more seriously and in more direct sentencing to the audience.
