What is an author’s authenticity and flair? An author’s authenticity can be defined as the author’s ability to remain true to themselves and their writing. An author with flair is one who can write with personality and hold the reader’s attention. These qualities are important for an author to possess. If an author is not authentic, their writing may not ring true to readers. If an author does not have flair, their writing may be dull and uninteresting. Writers who can remain authentic and showcase their flair are more likely to connect with readers. Readers can appreciate an author’s unique voice and perspective. When an author is authentic and has flair, they can show their readers a glimpse of their world.

Some ways to convey the meaning of words or phrases more accurately are by using a dictionary, a thesaurus, or an online translation tool. Another way is to read the passage out loud and listen to how it sounds. Word 365 has a read aloud facility (under the review button, nine in at the top ) that I find very handy to use!  You can also ask someone else to help you interpret the passage. Finally, you can take a break from the reading and come back to it later with fresh eyes.
