Writing is truth, therefore if you let go and write naturally you will find that voice that is uniquely yours. Life is such a clutter of activity and we are bombarded with messages from the media, family, and friends telling us what we should believe. We sometimes don’t take the time to figure out what we truly think.
Writing helps us to uncover our truth. A lot of times when writing we find that we start off writing about one thing and our project seem to take on a life of its own and takes you in an entirely different direction. This is truth coming through in more ways than you could begin to imagine.
This is not information you have to share with anyone or you may pull forth or hide whatever you want to hide in subsequent revisions. If you are still not comfortable with putting your expression of yourself on full view you could always make it a work of fiction. Remember fiction writers figuratively get away with murder.
There are so many ways to find your voice through writing but it won’t happen unless we do that thing that most writers dread, sit down and actually write. It’s okay if you’re not Shakespeare; in the beginning Shakespeare was not the writer we have come to know. Take your time and slowly nurture your writing. Okay Dear Reader, enough of that reading; go forth and write with reckless abandon.
