Developing your voice means stamping your own style in all
your blog posts, blog comments, Twitter messages and in all other social media
sites where you leave your digital foot print.
Ah, yes, by looking at your digital foot prints, people should
say who it belong to.
If you want to develop your voice as a blogger or even an
article writer (yes, blog posting and article writing are different) the first
thing you should decide is how you are going to show your emotions
(appreciation, criticism, sarcasm), how decently but firmly you are going to convey
them and start writing your text based on that.
You will not come to say firmly, ‘this is my style’ after
publishing a few of your blog posts. You will find it out only after several
months (provided you have been active), after having tried out various styles.
Invariably, you will change your style after becoming serious
in blogging and start reading others’ blog posts of which some may vibrate with
you positively. You will find yourself nodding your head as you read such blog
posts. You will remember who the points conveyed in such blog posts get etched
in your memory even after a couple of weeks.
Therefore, start finding blogs of your niche, identify blogs
that echo your emotions and views and openly leave your feedback. Mention them
in your blog posts, direct people to what you liked and what helped you in some
way.
Now, you are beginning to slowly developing your voice.
Of course it is needless to say that in order to develop your
voice is to practice writing as frequently as possible. To be precise, 3 blog
posts a week is really idea. Anything more might be tedious and anything less
is not a search engine and reader friendly habits.
Write about anything but always try to adhere to your style;
the more you practice writing, the better your ability to express your ideas
will become.
It is not always easy to find the right words to express what’s
in your mind. Building vocabulary is a must for all kinds of writers-isn’t it?
Reading English classics would certainly help anyone bent on fine tuning their
writing skill.
I used to take a day off every week and read my favorite
authors that include O.Henry, Somerset Maugham, Oscar Wilde, Ayn Rand and
Arthur Conon Doyle (the creator of Sherlock Holmes). After reading them, my vocabulary
bank would be replenished and I would pick up new ideas to begin my blog post.
Finally, the development of your own style will depend on how
you are developed spiritually. I firmly believe that one’s life takes shape
depending on the level of spiritual development, on the life and experiences
you have had that made you what you are today.
As a blogger, I never fail to include my own opinions and
experiences into the blog posts and articles I write with 100% honesty. I am of
the opinion that it is the only way that would establish your own voice and
also distinguish you from the so called ‘run-of-the-mill’ blog writers.
