Every New Writer is Like a Garage Band (How to Find Your Voice and Writing Style)

from The Quiet Quotient · host Jim Hansen

Every new writer starts out exactly like a garage band: loud, slightly out of tune, and deeply annoying to the neighbors. You spend those first few months (or years) just trying to find the right chords. You’ve got all this raw energy and a "vision," but the technical execution is a mess. You’re over-relying on the literary equivalent of a distortion pedal—big, flashy adjectives and melodramatic metaphors—to mask the fact that you haven't quite mastered the rhythm of a solid sentence yet.
