b) I'm usually satisfied with what I write.

oh silva this is a cute question!! LOL.



*thinks* ermmm........ i'd have to say, that my answer is: (d) but < b, bb, f > + L, M, N, O & P are also applicable.



(d) i either love or hate everything i write, there is no middle ground; so, depending on how i feel about what is written, my feelings are either (b) or (bb)...... in which case if i am feeling what what i have written was somewhat mediocre, i feel (f) that i am the absolute worst writer ever!

Also, in addition option (L)...... i am a perfectionist, so i strive for the best i can do, depending on the type of writing. (M) IF it is humerous, i will try to make it as funny as possible, but tend to stay within the confines of what i find funny; which, sadly, not everybody else does LOL; (N) If it is something serious, then i tend to thoroughly research the subject, or double-check my facts so that it is accurate; i also look at all sides of an issue, objectively; (O) The type of writing determines how long i obsesses over it and how many 'edits' i do, but due to option L (part a), in accordance with option (bb) i am usually never (initially) satisfied with what i write, because i am a perfectionist; and (P) sometimes i just stop caring, and feel as though i put out crap just to get it done; which results usually in my feelings being (f) and (bb) thus proving that (d) is an appropriate assesment. :) ♥



Also, there is also a noticable difference in my writing when i write something just to get it done, and when i write something and invest all of my energy and thought into it, whether its a few paragraphs or very long (lol) the difference is noticable. But writing is fun; and the more you do it, the better you get. ♥

Silva, you really do come up with the dandiest questions this is definately the dumbest question I've ever encountered. Not.. Kidding of course!!!!

I think I'm (e) when those bursts come I'm on my way. I have to have a real feeling about what I'm writing whether fiction or non but then I'm between a (b) and a (bb) depending on the subject.

I'm an average writer and am no longer doing it full time, but I do it on the side. I need to belong to a circle where I can get feedback and critiqued. I'd like to write a book if I could ever figure out what the plot would be.

B for me I think if others think A then I am secretly half pleased/half embarrassed.

B(a) - I write to make people laugh, feel good or think. That is my criteria for posting. I test it on myself and if it satisfies one of more of the criteria then I post. I haven't done much story writing at all before YA and now I REALLY like doing it. The positive feedback and good thumbs ratings are really encouraging.

on a similar time as i'm writing, i think pissed off plenty, yet I delight in it too, and as quickly as I write a paragraph or slightly communicate that i understand is powerful, i think greater desirable than happy and % to place in writing greater. i'm getting so sucked into my writing that I forget approximately to eat in specific circumstances. as quickly as I write a narrative this is an entire flop, i think empty for a rapid on a similar time as. I heard it reported as quickly as that a author is type of a midwife. if so, while a e book fails, i think like i've got introduced a ineffective toddler. i think like I could have completed greater, yet i understand i could no longer have, and that i merely could flow on and study from it the subsequent time. and in assessment to the midwife, all isn't lost, using fact there is mostly a minimum of one small sentence that i'm able to use yet once greater. as quickly as I end a e book, i think all bubbly and excited and happy with what I easily have completed. there's no longer something, absalutley no longer something, particularly like the sensation of working your provide up the graceful conceal of a e book and understanding you wrote it your self. i think like i've got created something which will stay previous me, something that possibly sometime while i'm long gone some human beings will nevertheless examine and it is often slightly me. merely examine Ceci's answer. I do the precise same ingredient! i % to video-tape myself sometime; i'm specific i glance like a mad woman, finding out out gestures and facial expressions that i've got merely written all the way down to verify they ring authentic.

Actually I think I am a very good writer & have had several small things published recently. I now just need to take the really big step & work on that novel just screaming to get out & on paper! :)

A.

This is so much fun and there is no writer's block when you have some material to start with. Thank you for all the pleasure you have given those of us who love the challenge.

If I knew how to sell myself, I'd be rich and famous a long time ago.

I would choose



B

D

E



Mostly E... It is always really good in my head and sometimes I can get it right, but a lot of the time I pick the wrong words to express my most creative ideas.

Depends on what i'm writing....



If I'm writing stories or speeches, it's a B. I usually love it!



If I'm writing a song, it's a whole different story. Then it's D. there's a couple that i love, but the rest i should rewrite or burn.
