Strength: Characters, narration (Or I hope so. It is hard to give myself credit for this), and creating tension.
Weaknesses: Giving unnecessary details, lack of long-term planning, and procrastination.

my strength would be that i can write a lot really fast, know the tropes necessary for success, and also am very good at controlling the pacing of my stories and keeping reader interest
my weakness would be that i hate writing typical stories that are successful so i always go back to writing about cute girls
oh, and my vocabulary is still limited so i can't write fancy words to impress readers

Strengths: Verisimilitude, perfectionism
Weaknesses: Writing speed, marketing

I do be liking positive fiction (and I'm tired to death by grimdark, dystopias, crapsack worlds, etc.), so I've been specializing in the last few years in writing positive/inspiring/solarpunk fiction.

When it comes to weaknesses, it's mastering the art of short stories. I know what to do, I just need to practice it more.

As for strengths, honestly, I have no clue where to begin. I'm not at the heights I wish to be yet (I wish to achieve a state of mastery), but I am at a stage where I'm getting more comfortable saying I am an expert at storytelling & writing as a whole.

Plus, if you do want to learn from me, everybody knows it's easy to do so.

Strength: Stubbornness.
Weakness: Dialogue. It always feels stilted to me.
