Cultivating a timeless and enduring writing voice is inevitable when you write from your gut, enjoy the process, and say what you really mean.

This will transcend all the bullshit trends and fads, ensuring your content remains relevant and influential over time

You need a point of view. Something you stand for. Something you believe that others don’t. Something you see that others are blind to. That’s the writing that spreads and makes a difference.

Voice isn’t only about what you sound like and what you say; it’s also about how you deliver it. As Rebecca Solnit describes it, a writer’s voice is “something of the personality and the principles of the writer, where your humor and seriousness are located, what you believe in, why you write, who and what you write about, and who you write for.”
