One of the challenges of working on my first novel is discovering my voice. What makes my writing style unique? Should a writer’s voice come naturally, or can it be developed? Am I in danger of creating an artificial voice in my attempts to be interesting and different? Or am I writing the way I think I’m supposed to write—possibly ending up bland and clichéd? If I want to be a writer I have to address these questions, even if I can’t find the answers.
