Summary of How to find your writing “voice.”
- Your nonfiction writing "voice" is your point of view and is completely unique to you.
- Specific exercises can help reveal your voice to you, like high-stakes prompts, collecting inspirations, maximalist writing, and self-editing practices.
- Learning how to use tools like style, tone, and diction can help you better express your innate voice.
- When you're starting out, don't adopt a character in public writing or you'll risk getting lost in it. Let yourself be recognizable.
- Practice non-doing; voice happens when you're busy writing about something more important.
Writing that feeds the minds and hearts of the people who build the internet.
We study businesses and we study humans.
