Voice recognition

No, notrepparttar computer software type:repparttar 128610 type that happens when Joe `phones a friend. Joe says: "Hello." andrepparttar 128611 friend instantly says "Hi, Joe." If you write as yourself, your loyal readers will reachrepparttar 128612 stage where they recognise your work from reading a fragment without needing any clue from a by-line.

If you have something interesting to say, there is no need to put on a phoney voice (unless your intention is to make your audience laugh). You will probably not get to be President if you make all your speeches inrepparttar 128613 style of Homer Simpson. If you decide to put your message in writing, you should write it in your own words and in your own way. When you write, you have your own voice and you should not try to disguise it. Allow your audience to hear your voice and become familiar with it. Of course not everybody will like your voice one hundred percent all ofrepparttar 128614 time: there is not one thing in this world which is liked by everybody always.

None of us is perfect

I don’t mean this in terms of never making a mistake: I just mean that, as human beings we all have imperfections. Keats says "Beauty is truth, truth beauty". I heartily concur but imperfections are, like beauty, inrepparttar 128615 eye ofrepparttar 128616 beholder; a matter of personal taste. What is a blemish to you might be an endearing feature to me. There are also degrees of imperfection. A minor imperfection in an otherwise excellent work may be overlooked. A similar imperfection in bad piece of work might berepparttar 128617 final straw which promptsrepparttar 128618 reader to throwrepparttar 128619 book acrossrepparttar 128620 room and vow never to read anything else by that author.

Whilst reading works of horror fiction by some of my favourite fiction writers, I have foundrepparttar 128621 repeated use of certain words irritating; for some reason I dislikerepparttar 128622 use of "umbra" and "orb" in place of shadow and eyeball. (The subject matter of these books is of necessity dark and grisly things frequently happen to eyes.) Asrepparttar 128623 remainder ofrepparttar 128624 work is perfection (in my orbs, anyway) I am able to forgive this minor irritation and still eagerly anticipate each new publication by these authors. Other readers might be impressed byrepparttar 128625 use of these alternative nouns or not even notice them. Whatever your imperfection might be, never ever compound it with sloppiness. You cannot help being less than perfect, that is part of being human; there is no excuse for offering sloppy workmanship.
