Don’t Leave You Out of Your Content
Your unique writing voice is more important than grammar.
So, you want to become a blogger. Or maybe write a newspaper op-ed or material for a podcast. Or maybe even a book. Your material will be nonfiction, so you want it to be crammed with lots of solid information. And that’s great — your readers will be looking for solid information. But they’ll be looking for something else as well: They’ll be looking for a writing style and a unique voice that will guide them through that information. They’ll be looking for a narrative voice that will create a story all its own, with character, conflict, and plot, the main ingredients of a novel or short story. They’ll be looking for syntax, terms, and sentence structure that are readily understood and effectively convey the author’s thesis and point of view.
I know that sounds like a lot. But as you embark on your writing journey and find your writing voice, you’ll see that finding all of these elements and incorporating them into your work is not quite the juggling act it sounds like. In fact, by following these writing tips, you might find that author’s voice that’s been eluding you, and you’ll be able to fit the “you” in your work.
