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.
