Of course!! I’ll give you some homework. listen to your favourite songs and think about it. do you like songs with bridges? When you love an album, do you tend to like the interludes? repeated choruses? or maybe instrumentals, no lyrics. beat drops. Maybe you like it all, but there’s this one snare in the background that makes this song the one for you. I know it sounds a little abstract, but words have rhythm, and the kind of rhythms you will write are a mirror to the kind of things you like to listen to. put the pieces of songs you love together and you'll get your voice. do this with any of your fav art mediums. finding your voice is just finishing a puzzle of the things you love.

A writer is a reader. read your favourite things, pick them apart. Find a word you love that an author used in a way that you thought was really cool. commit it to memory, use it in different ways. It’s like a moodboard, actually. You don’t have to actually put it down anywhere, but be active about the way you consume your favourite art. It’ll stick with you in ways that make you wanna play with it

once you make the (mental) collage of the things you love I want you to open a blank doc, take a blank piece of paper, whatever you prefer. Grab a pen or start typing and don’t stop to edit. Write the way that you think. the little quirks that the voice in your head has are also part of your writing style. I love when writers put their brain to paper and use all the brackets, semi colons, question marks, (whatever else!), to accessorise their prose. But to get to the accessories you have to blurt on paper (or screen). Don’t edit and once you have your text—dig!! Find the parts you love. Find what you love about it. Don’t delete your scraps, please. you never know how they’ll come back to you, renewed with your voice.

And obviously if the above feels like it isn’t the way for you, then I still think you should go back to your favourite art, read what you love, and blurt onto a piece of paper/your screen
