Finding my voice

As I start out on the path to becoming a blogger, I have been reading blog post after blog post… about blogging, desperate to find the post that would turn on the switch in my head, making me into an instant blogger. The switch hasn’t gone off yet, but I did come across a post from copyblogger that got me thinking.

“Get off your Computer and become a better Blogger” in short, emphasizes the importance of discovering your voice and style, which you can’t find sitting behind a computer.

“Start conversations with more people. Find the kind of jokes you like to tell. Listen to the rhythm of your voice as you speak. Pay attention to the way people react when you talk. Notice how they seem more interested when you speak in a certain way or when you discuss certain topics.”

Q: So then, why do I find this so difficult?
A: During the week, I am not writing with my voice.

My question to you, expert bloggers: How do you turn your voice on and off? Do you find that you blog the way you speak?

I’m sure I’ll find my way as time goes on, I just hope those who come across my blog will be patient as stumble along.
