How do you percieve yourself?
As a work in progress, always.
How do you think other people in real life and online perceive you? Do you think it is the same as the way you view yourself?
In RL, family, friends, acquaintances and strangers all perceive me as having my act together, and I don't see myself that way at all. I don't often appreciate that perception others have of me as it's hard for me to ask for help and support, but when people think I've always got it under control and know what I'm doing, they don't offer. I'm just as messed-up as everyone else; I've just had to take care of myself from an early age.
I have no idea how people online perceive me.
And last but not least, how do these perceptions effect your writing if they do at all?
There are bits of me in all my writing, whether it's just my voice or my emotions.

I know where you're coming from, people seem to think I'm always in control of things and I know what you mean about making it hard to ask for help. However I just generally don't like asking for help...as I am pretty petrified of someone saying "no" which probably says alot about me *L*
