Breakthrough Writing 3: Be True To Your Writing Voice

3 September 2005 One Comment

This is the third and last installment from How to Arrive at Breakthrough Writing and Find W.O.W. (Words of Wisdom) Factors.

Be True To Your Writing Voice

We all have writers that we admire. We have heard of writers who “made it big.” It’s natural that we would like to be just like them. But, ask yourself these:

- Why do you really like or admire these writers?
- Is it his or her style of writing?
- Is it his or her life or success story?

Then ask yourself: How can you be different?

The W.O.W. Factor

The world doesn’t need another Stephen King or Anne Rice. And, it is true that humanity will survive even if we don’t ever write another word. Our writing can only make a difference when we use our own voice and communicate our truths. No one else walked on this planet like you are doing now. There must be a reason. Write about each and every reason you find.
