Make what you like

To find your voice, practice. Sort through all that you’ve created, and keep what you like and what feels like you.1 ( [[ What are my favorite songs I’ve written? ]]) Don’t just write what you know; write what you like.2 Deciding what you like means making a judgment, so Use your better judgment.
