Three Types of Writers in Relation to Character

Never take yourself too seriously.

Never take yourself too seriously.

Never listen to strangers.

This division into three types feels somewhat arbitrary and odd. Personally, I don’t write stories; I envision them, like a prophet or a madman. It begins with an image that unfolds into a scene, then another, and another. There’s rarely a chronological or locational connection between them, so I have to figure out the order and then stitch them together seamlessly. I am the Tailor Writer type?

Definitely a hard three, myself.

I'm definitely a type 3, and there is a huge overlap with pantsing on that type. I don't write the stories, I just type them out.

It's hard to detect sarcasm and playfulness in social media, so you always risk people taking you seriously. I was definitely NOT serious with that post!

I have to remember to use emojis when asking such questions.
