Your writing "eras"

There was the Pre Nosey Fat Dog Era and now I'm in the Post Nosey Fat Dog Era.

There was the Pre Nosey Fat Dog Era and now I'm in the Post Nosey Fat Dog Era.

Is that the era where you just keep bringing this person up in threads they're not participating in?

interesting question.

I suppose my career here started with what I could call my Self Insert Phase. Basically, writing down my particular sexual fantasies in story form with "me" as the main male character. Shocking, I know, I'm sure no one else has ever done that.

From there I leapt quickly into my Trying To Branch Out Phase. Although my first venture into writing a Sci Fi story was still, admittedly, pretty much a Self Insert.

But I started branching out, trying to write in other categories with varying degrees of success. I suppose we could call that my Experimental Phase.

I suppose it was The Devil And Angel Em that started my Attempts At Being A Real Storyteller Phase. Again, with varying degrees of success.

I think currently im in my Just Write Something, Dummy Phase. Because my writing has slowed considerably, and I'm less worried about what KIND of story I'm telling in favor of just trying to tell it in an entertaining fashion.

like the illustrious speakers before me, I also never considered this perplexing question.

If I need to do that, my first era is good stories that are nearly unreadable because they were not edited

MY second era is the got feedback from great writers so the stuff is more readable

Era 1 and Era 2 are coexisting ....

At least since I've been writing here, my writing has not changed much. Apparently I'm an old dog. But if you compared it to 20 years ago, the difference is massive. I used to think dialogue was my weakness, so I worked on it, forcing myself to write entire scenes of nothing but dialogue. And now my stories are almost all dialogue. It's like a worm that took over my brain. So those would be my two eras.
