as a writer, you can never go wrong with having your own unique style.
see, thereβs no way you want to do this writing thing without your own flavor. you will just be a writer, not THE WRITER (thereβs a difference).
let your uniqueness be so clear that people can spot your writing style from afar. even when someone tries to use your style, people should be able to say, βoh, this looks like Finegirldami wrote this.β
i mean, you immediately know when something sounds like you. thatβs the level of identity you should aim for with your writing.
and one thing that has been helping me greatly when it comes to writing about projects is actually checking the project out as a user, not as a writer chasing a bounty.
i try the project first. i click around. i use the product. i pay attention to how everything works, what feels good, what is confusing, and where i get stuck.
then i write from my actual experience with the project.
that makes the writing very different because youβre not just repeating what the project says about itself. youβre sharing what YOU experienced.
and honestly, that is where the sauce is.
your perspective is what makes your writing yours.
two people can use the same information, talk about the same project, and still produce completely different pieces because their experiences, observations, storytelling patterns, and way of explaining things are different.
so donβt be too obsessed with sounding like everyone else okay.
β’ find your rhythm.
β’ find the words you naturally use.
β’ find the way you explain things.
β’ find the kind of stories you enjoy telling.
then keep doing it until your style becomes part of your identity.
because for me the goal is not just to write good content.
the goal is to write in a way that makes people know itβs me before they even see my name.
