Writing Fundamentals

Finding Your Voice

Every writer begins by mimicking their heroes. It’s a natural part of the process. However, the ultimate goal is to shed those influences and discover the cadence, vocabulary, and perspective that is uniquely yours.

Writer's block isn't a lack of ideas; it's an abundance of fear. Give yourself permission to write terribly. The first draft is simply about putting sand in the sandbox. You can build castles later.
