Forte

forte - a strong point, as of a person; an ability or role in which one excels; specialty

In a sentence:  "He draws well, but sculpture is his forte."

Everyone does something well.  Everyone has a special talent.  What separates famous talent from undiscovered talent is the length of your reach and the volume of your voice.  You may not believe your talent deserves to be spread and heard.  You may not be convinced that your writing is readable, your cookies are delicious, your artwork is inspiring, your music is moving, your fashion designs are fabulous, or that whatever you've created is worthy.  Well, how big is your audience?  Is it only you and the doubtful voice in your mind?  An audience of two is no audience at all. 

The Internet is our modern day frontier of free land.  We need only to stake our claim, carve out our piece of virtual real estate, stand proud and strong in this space, and tell our story.  Yes, there are millions around you, possibly with some similar talent, but your story is absolutely original.  As you begin mapping out how your work will be represented online, whether on a website, Facebook, Twitter, blog or all of the above, begin with your truth.  Your story.  Why you write, why you cook, why you sculpt, why you compose, why you design.  This is your specialty, this is your strength.  Speak from this core truth as you describe what you do, and you will excel.
