Start writing and don’t stop. Poetry, short stories, school newspaper articles–whatever interests you. The only way to find your unique voice is to practice, practice, practice. Just don’t be too critical of yourself because all writers go through phases when they’re convinced that every word they choose sucks unlike anything has ever sucked before. Those crappy (or not-so-crappy) ramblings will someday be proof of just how far you’ve come, so resist the urge to burn the evidence. Plus, you never know. Today’s babble could be tomorrow’s book. I scribbled one mortifying thought after another in my high school journals (as you can see for yourself on (retro)blogger) I had no idea that some of those rants would end up serving as the inspiration for my first novel.
