    I'm pretty good at coming up with original plots. Also using poetic language, similes personification, etc... Tragedies and suicide scenes are my best. I get so into writing suicide scenes, it's kind of strange I guess. I let my sister read one of them once. In that story the main character overdosed and my sister got scared and wanted to know if I had ever o.d.'d because it was extremely descriptive.

    I like to believe I'm good at writing angst and suicide scenes.

    Apparently, I'm also good at writing and making it seem real. And dysfunctional relationships, too.

    I'd say my strength would be comedy stuff. I enjoy spoofing whatever I can get my paws on...

    I guess my strength is angst, or so I've been told. :shifty
    My stories are pretty inclined to make people cry at times, not completely intentionally xD
    But happy stuff never quite works out in my writing..god knows why

    Apparently, I'm very good at descripive writing.
    I've been told I'm very good at making even the smallest things stand out with my descriptions because the words I use create a vivid image in the readers mind.

    I like to think I'm pretty good at characterization, making original plots, and comedy.

    - Creating lifelike characters that are all unique from one another
    - Conveying real emotion
    - Giving each character a distinct "voice"

    At least, that's what I think my strengths are. Maybe I actually suck at all three of those things. Eh.

    Comedy is one of my biggest strengths I've been told.

    And crackfics. I actually understand how to write it, so I think that helps XD

    Finally, characterization and having developed characters. I can tell you just about anything about any of my characters. It makes me feel awesome tehe

    I've been told that I'm good at creating a character that just seems real. I dunno, 'cause I always feel they're lacking a touch, but I'm a bit weird sometimes XD

    Also, I feel like I'm pretty good at writing from a child's point of view. My mom works around kids (she teaches first grade and I know a lot of teachers XD) so I'm able to hear stories about what they did in class/ask her how she would think a kid would react to a situation.

    Literary fiction.

    Sex scenes.

    Showing, not telling.

    And, I think/hope, male dialogue.

    I think my strengths are characterization/character development and dialogue. At least, I hope those are my strengths because they are my writing obsessions. XD

    One thing that I think I'm best at is trickery with words, especially in my poems. I have a way of getting my meaning across without putting it word by word and making you think about it.

    I have a nice way of foreshadowing. It's always different and strange, when I reread it, I forget what they're supposed to foreshadow sometimes. Until I look back at my notes.

    I'm good at making characters out of people I've known or people that are nothing like me.

    I'm good at realistic dialogue, like stuttering, pauses the "Ums and uhs" and all of that. Besides, what normal person hasn't got tongue tied at least once?

    I want to add my weaknesses, though, and that's one of them. Using though too much.

    A lot of self questioning. Then again, that could be a strength because real people self question all the time

    Mixing some of my personal characteristics and traits with my favorite characters. If I keep that up, people would see the pattern after a while.

    Getting too detailed with the things people would usually get uncomfortable with. I even get uncomfortable myself.

    Black people. I have the black character disease, sickness. I'm tarred in the mind. But I have childhood surroundings and my father to blame for that. I mean, I need to put a little bit of other races in there.

    Run-on sentences. I get told a lot that they are technically incorrect but I should continue to do it anyway because they help with the story telling.

    I think I'm pretty good with dialogue. I can write stories just based on dialogue but when it comes to pure description, not so much.

    I've always been told that I have really strong, well-developed characters, especially for fan fiction.

    I also feel like I'm good with the imagery and descriptions.

    And I'm pretty damn good at writing sex, if I do say so myself tehe
