Your Passive Voice

In writing, passive voice is a sentence in which the subject receives the action rather than performing it.

“The dog bit the man” is active.
“The man was bitten by the dog” is passive.

Pro writers learn to write with active voice early on because the passive voice makes writing less clear and generally less interesting. Non-pro writers use passive voice everywhere because it’s kind of natural. But it’s one of the tells of an amateur vs. a pro.

But what about in your life? Are you receiving the action or are you taking it?
