What are you good at when writing?

[Motsu]

When I am writing or working on a creative project, I become very competitive in board games, and by extension very good at them... don't know why....

Let's play Chess.

Let's play Chess.

I am thinking more like Monopoly, ticket to ride and Catan. where one can shift paradigms and be a bit devious without cheating.

But no amount of using more "imaginative strategies" will make this dumbass good at chess

I'm great at finding opportunities to write self deprecating jokes. Due to this majority of my jokes are 4th wall breaks telling the readers how shitty I am at writing

 

[EternalSunset0]

I'm not sure, but I can visualize scenes and voices clearly when writing, so that's something, I guess.

Also this. My volume omakes are the characters (talking as "actors behind the characters") doing recaps, fourth wall breaking, and inserting some self-depreciating jokes at me every now and then.

I'm good at dialogue.

"Why do you say that? Of course, you're a good person."
"Yeah...maybe."
"Well, have you ever killed anyone?"
"Only in spirit."

Like that. ?

That example just made me chuckle. I am supporting your path to just not making good dialogues, but better conversations.

All this and MORE in my novel "The Hunchback's Reluctant Bride." Be the first to read this riveting hunchback romance. You'll leave fulfilled, inspired, smitten...and mostly conflicted!

Holla!

The Hunchback’s Reluctant Bride

Hunchbacks don't get love. They get ridicule and scorn. That suits Wyrn just fine. As the son of a warlord, he resolves to die earning his father's respect in a tournament instead. The plan backfires and he's forced to marry a princess against his will. She's 18, beautiful, and suspicious...

Been thinking for a while, and I'd say I'm pretty good at plagiarising without being too obvious.

I'm good at taking other people's ideas and changing them to something completely different

Also making baiting covers?

 

[Carpio]

BS. Especially in essays. I somehow manage to get good grades when I don't even know what I write. My stories are the same, except they're more of a learning process not to BS my way through.

Interested in joining the roman impersonators?

I am pretty much only good at writing fight scenes.

Where have I heard of this question before? Ah, right—the interview! It's always these honchos with their questions. Like man, you start asking yourself some questions if I were ever in an interview, what would be my strength? Maybe if I tell them I am 6 inches I can get hired! Look, I am tired of all these "oh I am so bad at these or that or that I don't know what a kilometer is emmoootioonal daaammmaage"—just why don't you not do that if you keep complaining rather than asking for better ways and practicing. So yeah, strengths that make up the caliber of your writing skills.


Also, can we all agree that whether you have the aptitude for writing if your writing is always late on the deadline then you'll always lose the job? Haha, not like you guys work under a company—ANYWAY! I have to feed my blobs in the basements.

Fight scenes with gore. That's it. That's all I've mastered in my ten years of writing is being descriptive about cutting someones head off. Oh, and sex but I get blushy when I write about it. ?

 

[Gryphon]

I think I'm good at writing characters and coming up with long lasting plot ideas. How long does my stories normally last? Well the shortest idea I have, being My Succubus Roommate, I imagine it to last for at least 200 chapters. However, I could see it lasting more. Not to mention it goes through several genre shifts. The longest idea I've had could last for easily over 1,000 chapters.

Sorry, I’m just susfishious. Such a heavy title, I cannot bear.

That's sussy.

I think I'm good at powering through my volumes? Like in the span of...hmm...from May 2019 to January 2022, I was able to produce 11 books on my isekai novel (an entire volume worth of side stories too, and a quarter-book worth of chapters for my four part prequel), a book on my low-fantasy story (plus a quarter volume of the 2nd book), a half-book worth of chapters for my romance story, and two chapters on a manga I'm writing.

I can guarantee the quality, at least. But what I'm not sure of is if it would be to someone's liking, since we all have preferences.

That's very impressive that you managed to write that much in that amount of time. Definitely a skill.

I am not sure on that one. Maybe plotting out the story?

Well, there's one thing I am sure of. They make me want to plot out a murder scene.

I feel you on this. Writing a good murder scene is so satisfying. The tension. The suspense. The slight shivers that crawl down your spine when you write how a character drowns in their own blood. Is great stuff.

Especially, as a long-time player of Ace Attorney Investigation. I have a lot of ideas to pour into that one idea. The interrogations, the plot twist, the search, and the long "find out the contradiction" spectacle.

 

[CarburetorThompson]

I don’t know yet, until now I hadn’t written a story really since 1st grade, and my parents had to have a meeting with a teacher because of that one. I’m good at essays which is one of the things that got me to try creative writing.
