What is the trully true secret about best writings and what does it take for one to become a great writer?

Question

The answer should touch every aspect relative to great writing and also the names of present and past examples.

Answer 1

Every great author has had a unique voice that they have developed and makes they're writing so much better. A great story can be dragged down by the author's lack of their own voice, a dull story can be a great read through the use of a great voice.

It is something that is hard to develop and many young or new authors make the mistake of not working on developing theirs or simply to imitate the voice of an author they admire. The author's voice is just as crucial as the story, if not more so.

Answer 2

When trying to write, instead of trying to be a writer, merely try and be yourself. One must not conform to others if they truly want to be great. One must dig deep within their own being and become true to themselves, and that is where our real power lies....True greatness comes from within.

This principle can be applied to all things in life....not just writing.
All people have the incredible power to create and become what their heart truly desires.....but only few are able to look past the barriers in life that blind us from truly seeing what a limitless existance we are a part of. There is nothing that cannot be done.....
