"You're Not for Everyone": On VOICE
CARD: “You’r’e Not for Everyone” DECK: The Starseed Oracle GIF: Rebecca Campbell
“No one needs to help you find your voice; YOUR VOICE NEVER LEFT.”
I wrote this on my Instagram a couple days ago, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
You have your voice; AND: it has been obscured and buried beneath the socially conditioned expectation that you “speak to please others” rather than “speak to please yourself.”
Let’s dig into this!
Early on in my writing endeavors, I wrote from the “outside in”—rather than “inside out.”
Meaning: though I wasn’t quite conscious of it a lot of the time, I was trying to “make” my writing “be” something—instead of allowing my writing to BE.
I crafted stories I thought other people might find “cool” or pursued ideas purely because I thought they might be “publishable” or “marketable”—even if they weren’t that interesting to me.
I wondered what types of books agents wanted and tried to make my writing fit that—however elusive—mold.
I wondered what other people wanted to read and attempted to produce something catered toward those preferences.
Needless to say, none of that writing was very good lmaoooo…and none of it amounted to much. Not only was it lackluster, I was bored and uninterested in what I was writing a lot of the time. And the rest of the time, I was stressed and anxious, not enjoying myself at all, because I was constantly concerned with whether my work was fitting into any given number of boxes at any given time.
It’s a recipe for utterly un-inspired work. It’s not fun to write, and it’s not fun to read. lol.
Does this sound familiar? Can you relate?
Fortunately, I have an antidote to “outside in” writing…and it’s, duh, “inside out” writing.
But let’s look a bit more at the HOW, including some actionable steps and exercises you can try in order to coax your authentic voice out of hiding.
