No one's gonna hurt you, Fred, we realize you couldn't help yourself
No really though, I got Narrative and it only slightly describes me. I write lots of poetry, write my stories out of order, and while I like Shakespeare, I'm more a fan of sci-fi, fantasy genre and historical fiction.

I'd call me a "free" writer. Everything I write I write just out of my mind without following any rules. I just let it flow.

I figure I'd post my actual writing style here because I just finished up a writing evaluation portfolio for English class tonight and am still seething analytical thought. I'll take the quiz after I write this so I don't mess up my thinking.
I usually write very objectively, no matter what the topic. I hate introducing my own feelings, even if it happens to be something like an opinion essay. I have always felt that I should remain an enigma to the writer unless they had the patience to look closely enough at several pieces of my writing to pick up not only a common literary technique but also a common attitude. Another thing I tend to do is contradict myself a lot. Contrary to what you might think, contradictions help strengthen my writing. I take pleasure in the fact that I can systematically set up arguments against my own theory and knock them down before the reader has a chance to set up his/her own arguments. I like my writing to have no open ends whatsoever.

This says I am a desciptive writer. I suppose some of its true.
I'd say I'm somewhere in between a narritive and descriptive writer though.

I haven't really written enough to have a 'style'. I'm in the middle of writing, of all things, a Star Trek book (which as yet has no name), and I'm beginning a fantasy . . . something. I'm basically working on the world itself right now. I've started various other books, but got writer's block soon after I started. I mean, I know where I want to go with them, but I have a hard time getting there. I like writing poetry, too.

descriptive, perhaps?
I'm a descriptive writer, it says--
Which is EXTREMELY true! I love to write descriptions; I'm writing a story right now where I have about three paragraphs in a row, that are FULL of description, about this, and about that, mostly about the atmosphere and the objects (people, animals, etc..) in it... But that's okay, for me. I like to be descriptive! --Nimbrennil |

Hm... I don't know what my style is. Amateur perhaps?
I think I'm a fantasy writer who can write description and battles, but not romances, suspense, or mystery, and struggles with character development.

As far as a "style" goes, I think each person has their own comfort level and will write in a way that comes from their own perspective. I've looked back at things I wrote years ago and have found that my way of saying things has changed very little. I'm by no means a "descriptive" writer. I feel that my particular strength is writing dialogue (I've been told this, too). I tend to move the story along through exchanges between characters, rather than by describing the scene. I am very comfortable with this. I enjoy listening to people talk and like to pick up the cadences of speech. I've been told that this is very difficult, but I don't find it to be.
More power to you descriptive writers out there! I can't do that nearly as well as I'd like!

Took the quiz thing. Weird. Said I am a free-form writer and that free-style poems are what the doctor ordered. Insane! I do Tennyson and Poe and people like that. Bad test, I think. Should ahve more questions anyway. Or more answers.

I got freeform writer too, but after reading all the possible answers, I'd say I'm more close to being a narrative writer. (The questions didn't really contain an option that I actually do. Oh well.)

That's a wierd quiz firstly, but I think I would point myself toward a ridiculously descriptive narrator because I have one chapter that happens in about oh a few hours thats sixteen pages long.

I'm a Dark Writer. That fits about 95% of my work.

i am not aware that i have a writing style.
the poems i write pour out from my brain, and the songs i write do the same stories/novels i have written take many years to finish and are about everything. Love, loss, death, life, rebirth anew light/dark, i honestly write about anything my muscial compositional writing, however, is Baropque, Classical and Romantic, with a bit of heavy-metal and goth thrown in. BTW, what is this 'quiz' u all keep referring to? EDIT: OK, found quiz, this is what it says about me: You are a descriptive writer. An avid reader of Robert Frost, perhaps, you LOVE to use flowery words and use the paper and pen as your canvas and paintbrush. You prefer to paint a mental image rather than simply toy around with people's minds. A very inspired person, you love to be in nature and usually are a very outdoorsy type of person. A writer with a natural green thumb, perhaps? Last edited by Last Child of Ungoliant : 04-06-2004 at 08:09 PM. |

I guess I seem to lean toward being a dark writer as well. In reviewing all I've written, they tend to deal with loss.
