Have you ever been accused of writing like Yoda? I haven't met a single person, including attendees at my Steve Gamel Writing Workshops, who doesn't love the diminutive but all-powerful Jedi Grand Master from Star Wars fame. His wisdom was unmatched, and his pearls of truth are forever etched in our minds. But that doesn't mean we should write like him.
While "Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you" works in a galaxy far, far away, it is a classic example of the dreaded passive voice. And guess what? It doesn’t exactly translate well in a book, blog post, or article—especially when clarity and directness are key.
In my next workshop, I'll explain more about what passive voice looks like, why active voice is superior, and how mastering this one skill can dramatically improve the way you write.
We’ll break down real examples, rewrite sentences on the fly, and walk away with tools to make your writing stronger, sharper, and more engaging.
Don’t miss your chance to sharpen your skills and take your writing to the next level.
