FEELING DIFFICULT TO FIND YOUR VOICE 😵‍💫🥴🤔

🆗!!

Lemme help you out….

FIND YOUR #voice

So, let’s keep it straight.. no matter what #content you produce,

it needs to be in your own voice,

or style.

It should never seem like a copycat of someone else.

That said, it’s only by copying skilled #writers that you’ll find your own unique voice.

Typically,

creative #professionals go through

3️⃣ stages of #development —

✍🏻 imitation,
✍🏻 mastery and,
✍🏻 #innovation

So.. even if you start out reading and studying the styles of writers you admire.

You will learn to develop your own style eventually..

️⃣TIP —

Here’s an exercise that can walk you through the process:

💫 Find 5 content writers whose style you enjoy reading

💫 Select one piece from each that is representative of their work, or that you enjoy reading.

💫 Select your favorite of the five writing samples, and read it slowly, word-for-word, out loud if necessary.

NOW… Study how that writer does it —

✔️ What the first sentence looks like.
✔️Format of introduction.
✔️How the article is structured.
✔️How the topic is developed and ideas presented.
✔️How the article is drawn to a close.
✔️What is call to action.

now… PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE… !!

** If you still stuck somewhere.. I’m here to help ** (ALWAYS)
