One of the hard things about being a blogger in general is finding your voice. Writing in a public forum is very much a performative act; you subconsciously choose a persona to project to the world and evoke that person through your writing. The really great bloggers are the ones who can do this transparently. They write without feeling self-conscious, the literary equivalent of singing in the shower. They write as if their words have no effect on the world. Though that, their words acquire honesty and from honesty flows impact.

I need to get myself back in that headspace.
