Unleash Your Inner Best-seller by Kim Ward

Not so long ago, a wise writer told me the fastest way from side show author to International best-seller was to unleash the inner writing voice that makes authors heard. At the time I knew this was sound advice but what I didn't know was how to find my writing voice.

I tried the old have a glass a wine and just let the pen go where it may, routine. That only ended in a few sloppy paragraphs held together by a smattering of old school adjectives that no one even uses any more.

From there I tried the modern day method of talking out my book while recording it in hopes of a book that would lead me to 10,000 copies sold. All I got from that experience was a few pages of poorly transcribed run-on sentences.

I am no quitter so I decided to dig deep, and try a method that had served me well when working on my first book. I decided to leave all judgement to the editors. Instead of being concerned about what was a proper fit, what words would evoke a flurry of feelings and what characters would illuminate my pages, I wrote what came to me and nothing more.

The words flowed like a beautiful silk gown draped over a princesses body.  Well, maybe that is an exaggeration, but the truth is in order to find your writing voice, you just have to be comfortable and confident in what you write. Don’t think about it, don’t strategize about it, instead be like NIKE and Just Do It!
