“Skills” of a Writer

A writer has many skills... some are helpful, while others are not...

Here are my writing “Skills”:

1. Trying to do schoolwork, then suddenly I get a writing idea... and get distracted by it for the next hour or two.

2. Re-reading my work and getting SHOCKED that I wrote such a fabulous thing; then looking further back at older writings and becoming absolutely horrified I wrote that.

3. Saying “Oh yeah, I’ll add a chapter on that tonight” *two months later*... “WHY CAN’T I WRITE ANYTHING ON THIS CHAPTER I STARTED TWO MONTHS AGO!” (aka every writer’s worst nightmare... writer’s block XD)

4. Coming up with so many fabulous writing ideas, starting at least 100 words into them, and then leaving them for the next two years... so starting and never finishing XD

5. Becoming envious of almost every character I create... and the wonderful life or adventures I create for them.

And last but not least my sixth skill (though I’m sure I have more writing skills, but listing them all would take forever, LOL).

6. Getting sad when I finish a book... because I, the writer and creater of the story, does not want it to end. Oh, and let’s not forget those times when I’m feeling... “evil” and kill off characters as I’m writing *maniacal laughter*

.....

Yes, I believe these are just a few of my “skills”in writing.
