Your mask: The Self-Dimmer
Skip to your $22 deal ↓- You cut the odd, personal bits because “nobody wants that.”
- Some days you’re half-afraid your writing could pass for AI.
- You read authors with big voices and quietly file yourself under “plain.”
Here’s the secret: it’s not about standing out. It’s about audience fit. “Boring” isn’t a fact about your voice — it’s a mismatch with who you think you’re writing for. The full breakdown shows what your version of interesting actually is.
You’re wearing The Self-Dimmer mask.
Your strength is that you’re audience-focused! You care very much about writing not just a good book but a great book—and the right book for your readers.
If you’re on the traditional publishing route, you know how important it is to get an agent’s attention, especially in an inbox of 2,000 other queries.
If you’re self-publishing, you know how hard it is to stand out in an increasingly flooded market.
But this can hold you back.
Not only does this take the joy out of the drafting and revision process, but it also makes you afraid to take risks. The exact risks that will make you stand out.
You find yourself cutting out the private jokes or the really quirky stuff because it’s just too weird. Some days you’re half-afraid your writing could pass for AI. Play it safe, because safe is…well, safer.
Myth: A voice has to be loud to be heard.
Hollywood Secret: It doesn’t. It has to fit.
The readers who are yours aren’t necessarily looking for flamboyant — they’re tuned to the exact frequency you’re holding back. (Write prim and proper? That was Jane Austen’s whole brand.)
The parts you delete for being “too you” are the parts a right-fit reader would underline.
