    I love writing the beginning of the story. It makes my heart happy to finally share my characters with the rest of the world:)

    I love writing dialogue. I could probably write a chapter of nothing but dialogue. It's harder for me to put the depth in there. Describing expressions, and thoughts, and movements. I just want to put out conversations. I particularly love emotive conversations, between lovers, who have so much to say to each other but are unable to express it.

    My favorite parts of writing are the first chapter, the long summary (sometimes), and writing dialogue. I have so many 'first chapters' written, it's ridiculous.

    I love starting the story, because it becomes tangible.
    I also love creating the layout and writing the summary. I love how everything just comes together.

    Like most it seems, writing the first chapter is my favorite. I have way too many first chapters for stories running around because I love writing it, but it's hard for me to get past that. I also love writing dialogue.

    At the moment, I think my favorite part of writing a story is the planning process. Just to think about the story as a whole before actually writing is always fun. But other than that, I think writing the next few chapters after the first one has to come in second place.

    I love writing a character's first appearance, especially when they make a dramatic entrance, if ya know what I mean.

    I love seeing all of my bullet point ideas grow into the story, and I love watching the characters and the story itself develop right in front of me, sometimes as if I have no control over what's going on and my fingers have a mind of their own. The best thing in the world is when everything ties together exactly the way you want it to and you just can't stop smiling because of it.

    For me it's seeing it all come together. Sometimes I have a hard time finishing what I start but even still I love the feeling of satisfaction I get from making good progress on my stories and seeing how it all turns out.

    I like the rush I get from a brand new story I just came up with. It's almost like when you get a new car or something, you know? I can't really explain it. > o <

    The ending! I love it when everything finally calms down and the story comes to a close. It's an absolutely wonderful feeling.

    I love planning it too much. It's probably the reason why I can't finish a lot of chaptered stories.

    When I'm so in the zone that I'm not even thinking about what I'm writing. When the characters' personalities are shining so strong that dialogue comes naturally and descriptions are perfect.

    My favorite thing is writing the dialogue between two characters who are wholly different individuals, but whom I love and adore equally. c: This is the fastest thing I can write, because it comes so naturally and with such enjoyment. It also brings out new facets of the characters I might not have understood otherwise. I also love writing highly emotional climaxes with twists. And when a character gets unexpectedly vulnerable or powerful. Aaand sadness. tehe

    I love dialogue of pretty much all sorts!

    I also love, um, torturing characters. Shifty Don't judge me (you're all writers you cannot judge me because I KNOW y'all know this feel!! XD) But yeah, when shit gets real and especially when it gets real painful either emotionally or physically or both; I usually love it. There are a few exceptions to that rule, but generally that's how it is.

    More vaguely speaking, I love love love when I get to certain scenes that I've been itching to do since I first started the story (or in some cases before.) Sometimes I indulge myself and write out of order, but sometimes I make myself wait on scenes. I'm sure this has been said in here already, but yeah that's a good writing feel, for sure.

    Also, even though they can be bittersweet at times, I love writing endings. There's just a feeling I get. Even on the occasion I allow myself to write the end scenes before the story actually finishes proper, I still get this feeling that's just like "the ending feeling"; I don't know how to describe it, but I love it, it's special.

    Also, this isn't writing exactly, but part of the process, but I love when I'm planning out a story and everything just clicks. Like, if I'm stuck on how to end it, or how the middle part will go, and then I just like get that epiphany and I know how it needs to go and (sometimes only roughly) how to get there. Also, on a related note, I LOVE it on the rare occasion that I notice a parallel or some symbolism that I really didn't intend or plan from the start, but then I'm like "ooh I'm an accidental genius and I AM SO gonna go with this!!"

    (sorry this got long. Shifty I love writing so much, and I felt like rambling about it.)

    Fleshing out characters. I almost feel like my characters are my friends, and I'm getting to know them as people. Doesn't matter if they're fictional, it's a similar process and I just love getting to know them better.

    And then killing them in brutal fashion Shifty
