Thanks for commenting on this vintage post. I think we do have a tendency to overanalyze things and the problem comes when we let that affect our natural voice. I agree that the importance of good content cannot be overstated. george Hi Henway.

Thanks for commenting on this vintage post. I think we do have a tendency to overanalyze things and the problem comes when we let that affect our natural voice. I agree that the importance of good content cannot be overstated.

I think the key is not to overanalyze and think too much, just start writing and don't care so much about what other people will think. The content, first and foremost is what they're looking for, and tone/style is secondary to that. Focus on writing great content and the rest will follow. And don't worry if it's not professional enough.. I know some great bloggers who write like gangsters, and I still follow them. Great tips.

I've never understood the hoopla about "voice." My voice just is. I am who I am. The characters in my head speak differently to me, in their own voices. I write in a style that is comfortable to me...to do otherwise would be stilted. It also would not be my own voice. This is a great post and certainly worthy of recycling.

I have one observation. <em>At LongShortStories, I host two short story contests each year.

If not one gifted writer enters your contest, this says more about the marketing of the contest than it does about any of the contestants. @Wayne – lots of great points mixed in there.
