When you hit a new flow, you’ll know that the critical mind has stopped running the show. If first person is your go-to point of view, make a temporary move to second person in the spirit of play. So if you normally write in third person, try switching to first for a little while. Signs that the critical mind is horning in on your creativity include feeling stuck, hating what you’ve written, and rewriting your beginning over and over. The critical mind has a place in writing, but not during the generative stage-and sometimes it needs encouragement to bow out for a while so you can get that first draft written. Play with different points of view to bypass the critical mind. It’s just you and the page you’re creating a space for imagination to run free.

Original text from Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (YA): 'I can feel the wind fighting to break through our storm windows. The resultant prose, while competent, would be unlikely to captivate a reader the way the original does. I’ve taken the liberty of rewriting each excerpt in a more generic style that conveys the same basic information but removes the voicey touches.

“Voicey” writing means developing an original style.īelow are examples of voice in Young Adult (YA) and Middle Grade (MG) literature. The tone and timbre of your voice cannot be duplicated by anyone else, not even by a talented mimic. Interesting fact: a voice print, much like a retinal scan, is unique to each person. So why do publishers keep saying they’re looking for fresh voices?
