In my personal experience, trying to find the right voice when I write is always a challenge for me. I will first look at the prompt and the style of writing the assignment is asking for before deciding what kind of voice to use. I have found that my favorite genre of writing is exploratory because there are fewer formalities and rules when writing. I am also able to explore a topic of interest which encourages me to write more. Because English is not my first language, I often struggle to develop a sense of style when I write because it could go from explaining to arguing and my voice jumps around. I have to constantly remind myself to stick to one voice and have to rewrite a lot of my work to ensure I am following the prompt. There are always a lot of grammatical errors in my writing since I am trying to translate certain sentences or phrases from one language to another and this often discourages me from writing and finding my voice. My biggest fear is being judged for my writing due to the struggles and this prevents me from further developing my voice. A way I encourage myself to keep writing and not worry about making mistakes is by reminding myself that writing is a growing skill and that every mistake I make is a way to do better than the last. With this changed mindset it pushes me to try different voices and see what I like in my writing. I hope to eventually find a voice that I feel satisfied with and can consistently use.
