What's your best attribute?

[cloudy]

dialogue.

 

[hmmnmm]

The lights started to finally flash on when the poets pointed out the poetry in my attempts at straight prose. Pretty much got set free.
Oh, and clarity.

 

[S-Des]

I was gonna say my best attribute is in my av.
Even as a writer, that is probably still valid.

That's a pretty safe statement (you'd have to be a HELL of a writer to make it otherwise).


Mine would have to be the storyline. I only have a half-dozen stories up, and all did really well. People seem to like them, and it certainly isn't my flair for descriptiveness.

 

[oggbashan]

My ability to restrict some stories to fifty words...

...and some to fifty pages.

Og

 

[flavortang]

The ability to write characters that people either relate to and/or are attracted to, physically or mentally. This is all based on reader feedback.

My personal best attribute is the ability to make chocolate disappear, and in large volumes.

 

[FatDino]

Dialogue, according to others anyway.

 

[flavortang]

My ability to restrict some stories to fifty words...

...and some to fifty pages.

Og

I can rarely restrict sentences to fifty words, so kudos.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

The sex.

 

[DeeZire]

I was going to say long sentences, but flavortang beat me to it, so I guess I'll say typing. I can type with my eyes closed. Watch this:

Thank you very much

The thing I have the most fun with -- not that I use it all that much, is "one sided" dialog -- you hear what the character is saying on the phone, but not what is being said to them. That has to be inferred.

 

[only_more_so]

As a writer, what do you do best? Metaphors? Descriptions? Poems? Fiction? Explain....

I'll start. I think I use metaphors effectively and I like to try to weave as many as possible into my stories. I don't think I'm a very good poet. But, I'm a decent fiction writer.

I think the most consistent feedback I've received is that people can "see" what is happening in my stories, that they seem real. Some people think I have a good sense of humor, but I think that is just the realism.

Bill Cosby once said something to the effect of, "I don't try to be funny, I try to be honest."

 

[matriarch]

Apparently my stories are all infused with 'love'. *shrug*.

Being a poet by preference, my prose writing tends to have poetic overtones in use of language, phrasing.

Whether it's true or not, I leave entirely up to the readers.
