Voice

Read Psalms 29-32

Psalms 29:4 "The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty."

Our writer’s voice is very important to us. We tend to spend way too much time obsessing over it.

We want to write like our favorite author, but not too much like them. We want to be unique, but not so unique that our work is unmarketable.

Voice comes more naturally than we fear. As we rewrite and polish for certain publications or readership, the voice will come through. When we concentrate on the voice instead of the piece, we risk a stilted and boring read for all we are trying to reach.
