Finding your Voice

I would define 'voice' in writing as the struggle and eventual success of putting down what's below the surface of your public mind into words. In other words, it is to go beyond what people want to hear from you and to say what you REALLY want to say. I think Lamott's quote "We write to expose the unexposed" in a way is related to my definition of voice in that it tells us we should say what other people don't say.
