    I'm awesome with plots. I do really good plots. But I never carry them out to my expectation. Its frustrating, like an artist who sees an image in his mind but when he paints it, its just a blob.
    Me too. I know I'll never run out of ideas for things to write, but I always run out of motivation when things don't turn out as awesome as I planned. Disgust

    Serena says I'm good at writing scenes that make her laugh till she pees in her pantses, and good at coming up with entire story lines in a 3 hour texting session.

    I'm also pretty good at delving headfirst into my character's thoughts.

    Some people say that I'm good with characters in fan-fictions. :shifty

    I also like to think that I'm good with characters and pointless relationships between them.

    According to my writing teacher, my strengths are descriptions, and conveying emotions.

    I'm also "strangely preoccupied with death and dying". :tehe:

    Apparently my vocabulary and descriptions are fantastic.
    I'm also pretty good at characterizations, plots, and twists if I do say so myself. :con:

    I don't know my strengths! XD

    At least, not many people tell me. I tend to look more at my weaknesses.

    I guess I'm good at humor? Although, I find that hard to believe, because I think everything I write to be very...un-funny.

    I think I can be quite good at humor when I put my mind to it. Wit and humor are two important ingredients to an interesting conversation, depending on the topic of discussion, and I like to make sure that carries over to the written word whenever my characters are conversing.

    I like to think that another strength of mine is coming up with interesting characters in the first place. Not the usual stuff; no angsty and suicidal teenaged girls that band dudes take pity on, no Mary-Sues stealing said band dudes away from their canon wives and girlfriends—actual people that fit in to those worlds without disrupting the canon flow. Without disrupting it too much, anyway.

    Well I've been told I've got a really good vocabulary and I can "create perfect metaphors". Actually I've heard a lot about the metaphors. So metaphors?

    And that I've got a "classic" or "classical" style of writing, only thing is that I don't have a clue what that means.

    I've been told I'm good at getting across emotions and personalities. Like with Petals In The Wind, a good percentage of my commenters told me they could relate to Christine so much, and understand her. And with Wanderers of Ruin I've also been told I've gotten Gerard down pretty well. They can feel what the characters are feeling, etc.

    Sticking with a story. It takes alot for me to give up on one. Even if it takes me forever to update, it's because I'm stressing that it's not good enough.

    According to Isa I'm good at description.
    According to Chethana I'm good with club scenes.
    I personally think I'm good at making my characters...well, I suppose real would be the right word. Like, I make sure my characters stay in character. They don't randomly change personality.
    ...I don't know. It's a tad hard to explain.

    I can write pages and pages and pages of stories about absolutely nothings.
    And it's only half a joke. My stories are really weird because most of them are not even stories, they're just words and words and words and they make no sense what so ever.

    I like to think I create interesting characters, but even though I was told otherwise, I often feel like I don't portray them well. Sometimes they sound more alive in my head than in the story. To me, at least.

    I have a lot more weaknesses :cheese:

    I think that I can do pretty well when coming up with plots for original fictions.

    According to what I've been told I'm good at dialogue but I'm not really sure. I sort of hate the way I write because I make Mary Sue's and everything is so much more vivid in my head.

    My friend Kaylee said that I come up with cool ideas and that she wishes she could write as well as me. :con:

    Oh, and Casper says random little things that make you laugh:
    "You crazy Jew!"
    "It's like Wal*Mart!"
