Express Your Individual Writing Style

By Ronald F Wilson


Your individual style of writing is the manner in which you express yourself. It develops over time with practice, and is a result of your personal choices and individuality. Here are a few things you should do to develop your writing style in a natural manner.

The first thing is to practice daily. There is no way to substitute this. You need to take the time to try different writing styles and experiment with techniques. The more you write, the easier it will become to identify your own unique style.

After that, you must be clear and precise. Using the correct choice of nouns and verbs you can provide details which bring your style to life. The more detail you provide, the more chance you have of passing on the details of your imagination to the reader.

The third thing you can do is to use your natural voice. Just as we do when speaking, we have our own unique way of communicating. Your writing should flow naturally, and have an identifiable 'voice'.

Following that is to read, read, read. The more you read the more you will unconsciously absorb the best ways to write with complete confidence. You will learn the best ways to inject individual technique by watching established authors.

Finally, you will need to pay attention to your choice of words. As you speak differently to different people, you must also write differently according to your audience. Think of the way your patterns of speech change when you are speaking with your boss, as opposed to your spouse or your child. Writing should change too according to the purpose of the writing.

Now, keeping these things in mind, you can practice and experiment with various styles until you find your own unique style that you are comfortable writing in throughout your writing career.
