My voice

It took me a while to find my voice, but I think I finally found out who I would like to model my posts after. Now the person I chose has been a lifetime hero of mine, and even though he is not a writer, I will tell you how he fits the "voice" I want to have.

The person I chose is Brett Favre. Now this might not make a lot of sense right now, but I will do my best to explain how my voice will be modeled after Brett Farve. First off, I want to be a sports writer, so why not model my writing off a great sports player. Secondly, Brett is arguably the best quarterback who has ever played the game of football, and that is what I want people to think when they read my blog. I remember when Brett Farve said, "I never stepped out onto the field or walked off a field where I didn't feel like I did everything I could possibly do to be the best." Now that is a great way to model my writing, I want everything I write to my best. A third reason is while Brett has the most career touchdowns, he also has the most career interceptions out of any quarterback in history, and that will help my writing. I know that not all of my articles will be top-notch, but if I don't keep trying to make my points then I won't become the best. Another reason is if you have ever watched Brett play football you see him having a lot of fun, whether it is throwing snowballs after a touchdown pass, or sprinting down-field after a 60-yard touchdown pass. I want people to see that in my writing, I want them to read my work and say that guy loves to write, because I do. The last reason I can think of is Brett is never afraid to stir up controversy, and I think you need that to be a good writer. If you don't offend someone, or get conflicting opinions then you aren't writing about very much.

Also, I feel I should mention that I was devastated to see Brett in a Vikings jersey. I have been a life-long Packers fan, so to see Brett in the purple and gold was pretty bad.
