I’m glad I could inspire you Jeffrey. I picked up the advice about the things you least want to share somewhere along the way.

Don’t try to be someone you’re not. I think that always comes through and people can tell. Who you really are is always more interesting than who you think you need to be. I did the same thing for years, but found my writing improved most once I stopped trying to be like others and instead started being myself.

Just write from yourself and keep experimenting a little. Try new things in your writing. Most importantly keep writing. I can’t guarantee that everything you write will be great, but I can guarantee if you keep at it your writing will get better and you will find your voice.

Yes! Steven I found your blog this afternoon and immediately opened this article hoping it was and would be the inspiration I needed to find my own voice, a feat I’ve been struggling with since beginning my blog last month. What really clicked for me was how you noted that what we least want to let out or what is in the background is most often what comes through in our voice. I feel that what I struggle with the most is trying to be someone I’m not and so far it has led to results I’m not happy with. Thank you for bringing to light this point and the others as I feel free to just be myself in my writing now.

Glad you enjoyed the post Josh.

With your voice try to just be yourself. Pay attention to how you write and notice things that you may want to change, but overall be true to who you are.

The more you keep writing, the more your voice will come out.

Wow, what an amazing and inspirational post. I feel that my voice is somewhat harsh, and needs to be flattened a bit. My biggest problem is that I preach without knowing it. I believe that in the future, my voice will develop further, and the preaching will tone down!

Thank you very much!

[...] It’s not going to hurt your business to be open and honest – to be a real person. It’s actually going to help it. People want to do business with people, not businesses. They want to know you’re real. And they want to know you can help them. No better way then to use the sound of your blogging voice to create a relationship with them. [...]

[...] I tend to think of an article as something I would submit to another site (even if it’s something I’m submitting to my own site) and something that may be your one and only encounter with me. Because of that it should expect a less forgiving audience. Where an article is focused solely on the ideas within, a blog post carries with it a person and voice behind the writing and the thoughts of that person are carried through the blog and not just in any single post.

Is There An Optimal Post Length For Blogs? - TheVanBlog — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:19:17 +0000

[...] My guess is the best blogs have a mix of long, medium, and short posts. I’d be fine mixing in shorter posts and often wish I could say what I want with fewer words. In the end I prefer to focus on quality and let the length of the post be what it is. I’d rather find my blogging voice than consciously attempt to stifle it. I’m not arrogant enough to think everything I write is so good you have to read it, but ultimately that is my goal. [...]
