Comment on Writers Afraid of Their Own Voice? What? by Tracy Brown

This is a timely post for me to read.

During the past three days of editing, I’ve been worried that I’m cutting out my voice. I’m not sure what my next steps will be.

I don’t always like my voice. I catch myself exaggerating all the time or sounding snappier than I meant to and I love sarcasm, which doesn’t always translate in writing… so, just in case, I let my writing sit a day or two before posting on my blog so I can catch some of that stuff. Maybe I’ll get more comfy with my attitude… I’ve just had plenty of feedback in real life that responded “NOT NICE!!” and sometimes I wonder why I think funny is better over nice sometimes? Or why my first response is so strong and I always want to tone it down? I’m not sure… but I’m willing to work on it. I agree with Daniel Ford. “Writing is more than a skill, it’s an art and a lifestyle.”
Thx for sharing!!

I’m confused when writers are afraid of their voices as well. This isn’t to say that I never make mistakes with mine…I recently had to rewrite something entirely because I thought a timeline decision would be the better gimmick. Nope. I got three paragraphs through the change and my voice dried up.

That wasn’t a gut decision, the change, it was a head one, and it was wrong. So, instead of floundering, I retyped the handwritten beginning and sailed blithely on.

Very encouraging! Thank you.
