I think the only way you can become a writer is through honing your voice, creating your own voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Good writing of course requires talent, and no one can teach you to have talent.
You need a certain amount of nerve to be a writer.
I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
I now can be sure that, once I start writing a book, I'll be able to finish it. I've also become more assured about my 'voice' as a writer and being able to keep the characters true to themselves.
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
I think writing is such a great talent, and if I was better, I would love to be a writer.
I don't know what makes a writer's voice. It's dozens of things. There are people who write who don't have it. They're tone-deaf, even though they're very fluent. It's an ability, like anything else, being a doctor or a veterinarian, or a musician.
If you want to become a writer, you do need to be willing to make sacrifices.
The only successful way to write, and the only one I have found, is to be the character. Give up on trying to control them. Writers always talk about hearing voices. That's what they mean.
