Love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
Deuteronomy 20:30
If you observe writing trends for any length of time, you will notice threads that run through various circles.
An industry leader writes a manifesto; twenty more follow.
A trendsetter writes her inner thoughts in italics; hundreds start to do the same.
A publishing expert changes his blogging schedule; dozens make the same adjustment.
One of the most important aspects not just as a writer but as a person is to authentically represent who you are. We can't do that if we spend more time in imitation than meditation. Today I'm over at GodlyWriters.com talking about finding your voice.
