Find Your Voice 

The first thing I would say is: if you wish to become a writer, sit down and write. When­ev­er you can. Fit it in around your friends and sports and class­es. It doesn’t have to be every day, but get into the habit of express­ing your­self in writ­ten words. Col­lect words you like and try them out in dif­fer­ent kinds of sen­tences. Write down ran­dom phras­es that come to you out of the blue. Write what you can’t say out loud. Write about what’s both­er­ing you or what you feel proud of. You are find­ing your voice — a voice that will grow and change and strength­en your whole life.
