A writers voice is the only thing we have for a claim to fame. It's the only thing we have to make people listen to what we have to say. I never really understood it, but no I know. To get a writer;s voice you have to believe in yourself, but most importantly you have to believe in your writing. If you can't do that, then there isn't any point in it.
To really understand your voice you have to know what you are writing, and your characters, so but understanding then you can create a strong voice. To be able to achieve you need to find where you belong. I'm referring to genre, whether its fantasy, crime, thriller and so on. As long as you enjoy what you're doing then the readers will enjoy reading it just as much.
You also have to imagine you're there, living with what's going on around you whether you decide on first person or third. If you believe you're there then you can get across the real emotions your characters are feeling.
Thank you, and enjoy finding your place
