Writing from the True Voice
When you begin to write out of your true voice, you often begin
to write about topics that you never dreamed you’d be
writing about. About experiences, characters and story
lines that you never imagined. What you’ve done is open
the core of your creativity and your writing naturally gets better.
I’ve never seen it fail; the writing naturally gets better.
However, when I work with people, my emphasis is on
opening them to the deeper passion and opening them to
their true voice while, at the same time, I am teaching
them technique. Technique is a very important part of the
foundation. It’s not only that you open up to the passion.
You do need certain writers’ techniques that support the
expression of your creativity.

I agree, Emily, that writing from your true voice is freeing! However, don't you think many writers have difficulty tapping that true voice because they allow their concerns about how they'll be perceived to interfere? I admire young writers (especially those in their twenties) because they seem to be free of those constricting inhibitions. For the rest of us, we need to keep working at it.
