I find myself thinking about “how do I just do me?”
What is my personal angle, point of view, and/or voice that’s JUST me? And not because writing with a market in mind, or picking a genre outside of my comfort zone hasn’t been successful…but I do still feel like I haven’t quite found myself completely. And I can’t help but feel like when I do find that, it’s going to take off more than anything else I’ve ever done. My sweet spot is still out there. And it’s genuine, authentic, and absolutely undeniable. It’s the Truth. Again…not that what I’m doing right now is lie, because it’s not. I just mean that I haven’t figured it all out yet, is all.
I do have to say, too, though: “voice” is something I don’t feel like I struggle with. It’s in there already. I can’t help it. They’re my words, and so they feel like me. And I’m writing in this particular genre with a co-writer BECAUSE I need to learn, still. I’m still so early in all this. Still figuring so much out. I guess I’m just wondering what it’s going to look like when I find my sweet spot.
Going to bed early. Night night.
