My Authentic Voice

Hi,

Saw an interesting blog today about finding your authentic writing voice. The author suggests a writer list the first three things that come to mind when you're asked to describe yourself/your writing. Read something you wrote recently. Do you hear any of those descriptors? You should, if you're writing openly. What do you think of her advice?

I went to this website you posted here. I found it very interesting. I really enjoyed everything the author said about finding your authentic voice. When I first began to write I don't think I was very good at finding my own voice, but since I've become a member of writing.com. I've seen my own writing improve/evolve I think I do have my own voice.

It's hard to believe how far I've come. I've taken some classes here at WdC. Comma Sense and Punctuation Station. They both were an amazing help. They were taught by members who know their stuff. warriormom and Winnie Kay Reviewing has been a huge help to me. I, truly, enjoy it and I've learned so much from it.

I was very lost when I first came to this site. I felt very overwhelmed. I had no clue where to begin. I was treated like I mattered and very soon was taught how this site could help me achieve my dreams and much more. I just had to believe in myself and my goals. It wasn't long before I was off and running and began to write my life story. The members here at writing.com belived in me so it wasn't hard to believe in myself.

You can read the story of how I discovered writing.com here

I, truly, enjoy writing. It's therapeutic for me in many ways. It's my hope that my life story will inspire others someday.

Much Love and Respect to all ~ Marcia
