We know, as writers, that voice is probably the most important quality of our writing. But, regrettably, it is the hardest aspect to understand, develop and explain. Some say it can't be learned, but I disagree.
Thankfully, we have tools and resources at our disposal to
help us with our writing. We can correct our grammar and spelling by using
Spell-checker, we can learn about point-of-view, plot, setting, tone, character
development and other elements of writing by reading books and blogs on
writing. Read books in and outside of your preferred genre. Read different
authors. How is their voice distinct?
But, developing a unique voice requires work. Start
journaling, write down your thoughts, what haunts you, what excites you, be honest
in your writing, feel your feelings, read your work out loud, pay attention to dialogue,
word choice and arrangement.
Closing thoughts: read more, write more.
