How can I set myself apart from other good writers?

For a writer to emerge as a good writer, one must have a distinctive writing style that distinguishes them from their fellow writers. When you walk into any writer's club, the first question that is posed is, "What is your creative style?" What topics are you engaged in? " Ultimately, it depends on the genre the writer chooses for his or her work. But, whatever the genre—fiction or nonfiction; theater; poetry; folktales, etc.—a good writer will always have a unique writer's voice that distinguishes him or her from the other writers working in the field. So, what is a writer’s voice? and,

How can one find one’s voice as a writer?

A writer's voice covers significantly more than just persona or style. A writer's voice, like a painter's brush stroke, is a mirror of their personality, including their ideas, wit, humor, emotions, and rhythms. The truest possible reflection of who you are may be found in your writing voice. A writer's?voice is not there to flatter, persuade, or form sentences.?Your readers should be able to hear the thoughts, feelings, and emotions you are conveying in your writing.

Also, one needs to understand that even though we all live on the same planet, no two people have exactly the same experiences. We have empirical knowledge at our disposal (based on observation or experience), and these are the sensibilities that shape our imaginations. That is ultimately what goes on to define a writer's voice.

A writer discovers his or her?creative voice when they approach their experiences from a different perspective because they may reinterpret everything—their memories, traits, and ideas—and realize that they are truly living a different story.

As a result, we can confidently assert that there is no special formula for becoming a good writer; rather, it only requires a stand-out perspective, an authentic writer’s voice, and a creative approach. However, there are techniques to foster a positive outlook. In light of this, we must ask,

How can any writer develop a creative point of view?

A specific perspective is a way that you look at something, notably one that is shaped by your opinions or experiences. When one is forced to view the same thing from a fresh perspective, their viewpoint changes. Consider, for instance,

A man who survived cancer two months ago contends that it has changed the way he views the world. He could then go on to write about his ordeal in a favorable light.

Perspective is what gives the world structure and meaning. It can improve one's vantage point, or the place from which you, the writer, perceive the world. There is no such thing as a correct or incorrect viewpoint; it is simply the first choice you make when planning your composition and determining the perspective.

Our perception is further shaped by our experiences, and from there on, we add our own interpretations to the objects and words around us.

The word "C-A-T," for instance, is essentially a sequence of letters. You interpret this as a fluffy, four-legged creature as a result of your encounters with the letters "cat."

For instance,

• Take the word "cat." Ask yourself what image you conjure up in your mind. For some, it can be a frightening experience if they were once clawed by a cat as a child.
• However, if a cat was your best friend when you were a child, the same word "cat" may have a more uplifting meaning.
• And while everyone is aware that the word "cat" refers to a feline?animal, its exact meaning varies from person to person.
• As a result, the symbolic meanings attached to words, things, ideas, events, and people are influenced by your encounters.

Similarly, writing as an art is difficult to examine objectively because it awakens emotions in those who read it. As a result, different people might experience different emotions. For instance, a person reading about a room with green walls may identify the hue with happiness, but another may associate it with despair. Because humans differ, there is no universal emotion or perception for any single work of art.

As a consequence, writing is nothing more than self-discovery, and every good writer is good because their style, perspective, or voice is unique to them, and that alone distinguishes any writer from a pool of talented and creative writers.

Here are three unique methods one can use to discover one's writing style:

1. Thinking Structure: There are some aspects of a writer's life that can always be improved. For many of us, structured thinking comes out on top of that list. We aim to adopt an organized method of thinking so that our thoughts become more streamlined, immune to biases, and can be reflected in our writing. Sadly, the human mind was not built to think in a logical, organized way. Therefore, a few things need to be kept in mind.

• Having an objective in mind: You must be aware of the purpose of your thinking before you start to consider a concept.
• Obtain a comprehensive perspective: It's possible that what has worked for others won't work for you. A proactive thinker would consider every angle and assess the many viewpoints before making a decision.
• Abandon?yourself to the process: If you are someone with?a complete disdain for rules, you might consider using the stream-of-consciousness technique, which aims to capture the numerous ideas and emotions that flow?through a narrator's head.

2. Use colloquial inference: If you are writing a creative piece, like a novel, maybe, or a short story, to differentiate yourself from other authors and put on the hat of a creative writer, you might utilize slang or colloquial expressions. Taking pride in one's cultural milieu might benefit the target audience you have in mind.

For instance,

If your target audience is British, you can use colloquialism to give your speech or writing a more casual feel. Some notable words include,

Ace is a term for anything that is exceptional.

Blimey is a surprise-invoking word.

As they differ from place to place, you'll discover how these words and phrases give any type of communication individuality and a casual vibe.

3. Celebrate yourself while honing your craft: As cliché as it may sound, our originality, our personality, is reflected in the type of work we perform. Moreover,?there is no denying that the experiences of our lives shape us into fascinating personalities. Our individuality makes us exceptional and our perspectives precious, and if we don't learn to respect the insight we have to offer the world, we may as well be sheep that follow the herd. And, once you've mastered your unique style, explore additional, more technical strategies to improve your writing style.

Every good writer has a reason for being good, and every bad writer has a reason for being mediocre. The only major difference between the two is that one has a growth mindset while the other has a fixed mindset that discourages learning. The willingness to learn and evolve is what distinguishes a good writer from the best writers in the world.
