I relate starting out as having the nervous voice while speaking in a crowd of strangers, then the more you do it the steadier your voice gets. Dee Langdon - BloggerNewbie’s last blog post..EntreCard - Yes, No or Maybe?

Very well written. I can relate to a lot of what is being said here, as I am still fairly new to blogging! Trevor’s last blog post..Financialnut.com Undergoes A Facelift

Awesome post Rachel. Regarding writing stories, sometimes I just get way too personal and end up with a post that is half my story, a quarter the information, and the last quarter a conclusion. For me though, I think my posts get a bit more personalized with a sense of “me” in it when I record what I want to say first, then type it as I play it. Although some people might think that this is a “long” way to writing a post, it really isn’t. Saying some 500 words doesn’t take that long and I think better when I’m talking over when I’m typing, so it works for me.

I think your voice comes as soon as you’re not trying too hard. Write as if you were talking to a friend, and include lots of your own experiences and maybe even a few stories to add personality to your blog and turn it into a place where people want to hang out.

Great advice and timing. Starting now, you should be able to see improvement in a few months. Bloggers are already reading. Perhaps reading the articles at CNN etc.. vs. watching the videos. Once again, great timing. Laura-Whateverebay’s last blog post..Welcome to FeedBurner

Rachel Thanks so much for the inclusion here. I hope that these things help all of the writers and bloggers who are still trying to figure it out. This post is great because of it's encouraging tone and style. The blog design and layout help as well. When you arrived here, did you fee like you just arrived at an old friend's house? I do every time I come here and that feeling from your readership is exactly what you are looking for. The only way you are going to achieve this is if you are real and genuine. People will see through a sales smoke screen in a nanosecond. Also, Rachel's point about reading is spot-on. There is no quicker way for you to find your own voice than by reading.
