Developing your own style of writing, your narrative voice, is personal and important. It’s individual to each writer. Long before I ever came in contact with the online community of writers and authors, I had been writing on my own. I instinctively knew basic grammar and English rules from school, but beyond that I wrote however felt right to me. I told stories and created a narration exactly how I wanted and how best fit the character. My mind wasn’t filled with tips and rules invented by other writers who believed their way was the only way.
