Finding a voice that your readers will enjoy is largely a matter of taste. Saying that isn't much help-taste is a quality so intangible that it can't even be defined. But we know it when we meet it.

Journalism is writing that first appears in any periodic journal.

There's not much to be said about the period except that most writers don't reach it soon enough.

Writing is hard work.

If you write for yourself, you'll reach all the people you want to write for.

I think a sentence is a fine thing to put a preposition at the end of.

Writers who think THEY are being criticized when only that writing is being criticized are beyond a teacher's reach. Writing can only be learned when a writer coldly separates himself from what he has written and looks at it with the objectivity of a plumber examining a newly piped bathroom to see if he got all the joints tight.
