"Sometimes aspiring writers ask me if they should get a degree in writing, or go to a lot of writer’s conferences. A writing degree and a conference will help us make valuable professional connections. They might inspire (or require) us to write. Which is a good thing.
But we don’t need either of these experiences to find and use our voice.
Our voice will be better developed if we spend time with our passions.
Learn the difference between a tangerine and a tangelo.
Consider the variation in their blooms, and the place where their nectar beads."
