Something I was just thinking about today: what makes my writing different than what other people are already producing? Readers sometimes may say, "I liked this better when [insert name] did it." So what makes your writing stand out from the pack? I'm not talking originality of plot and characters (although if that's your strong suit, say so), I'm just talking about what is that one special thing your writing has that others may not?
Is it your style?
Is it your themes?
Is it your subject matter?
Is it your way with words?
Is it your ability to make an audience laugh, cry, or do a bit of both?
What have beta readers and others told you about your writing that makes you stand up and say, "I am unique"? Do you even feel like you have anything different to offer? If you don't, then what is your overall goal of writing? To write what others have already, but better? To entertain yourself and your friends? To make loads of money?
I know those are a lot of questions, so just feel free to answer how you like.
