1. Originals.

2. Plagiarists.

Only repeat, revise, reword and rinse out of your own creativity. 🫡

10k in and no idea what will happen

word vomit keysmash

explorer kind of pantser

research later, thanks

Idea-driven/Plantser

jots down some basics about the lore and setting

when inspiring enough starts writing

gets to know the characters while writing

characters have a voice and mind of their own

research as they go, knows weird details for the story 

Character-driven

characters, arcs, development, dynamics, personality types, backstory since early childhood,...

I have had this characters for years

the dynamics between the characters go deep

World-driven

writes down lists of concepts

here to mix the genres. postapocalyptic fantasy horror or dark science fiction dystopia or epic space fantasy action or paranormal adventure romance...

the setting has to be detailed

if it’s fantasy it has to make sense, thank you very much, scientific approach here 

Plan-driven/Outliner  

themes, tropes, problems and symbolism

all favourite elements mixed together 

fix it stories of all the wasted potential in the world 

the TWISTS

complex ocs with contradicting traits

there is meaning behind everything

oh the daydreams

the outlines have outlines 

uwu writer: really nice!!! writes fluff and tender stuff. believes in true love.

^/////^ I thought I'd get a result like this but considering I've really only written angst lately i wasn't sure. Thanks!!!

Jasmine: Gentle, flowery prose with beautiful romantic storylines. They’re a staple of indie and traditional writing. They usually are sweet and their characters tend to be gentle and warm. They collect pretty candles and their moodboards are very neat. 

Earl Grey: This writer is in the quiet libraries. They are always enthusiastic about writing, then they get on the computer and goof off on tumblr. They do eventually write, little by little. Their characters aren’t always the strongest, but their worldbuilding is on point. 

Chai: These are the ones who are up all night writing. Their action scenes and villains are electric and their romances fiery. They’re the strongest when it’s 2 am and they’re hopped up on sugar and paranoia. They do NaNo every year and they have like 90 WIPs. 

Lemon Ginger: Smut Sneakers. Now, these writers are amazing at setting everything up and then suddenly, when you’re at the bottom of the cup... It’s lemony, spicy smut that hits you in the stomach. They’re fun and bouncy and great at comforting people. 

Darjeeling: These are the sci-fi writers who write about beautiful distant planets. They collect stationary and make moodboards instead of writing. They are down-to earth and write some of most tearjerking angst you will ever read. 

Matcha: These are the short story writers. Their stories are fluffy and warm and leave you feeling energetic. They have a gentle prose and the fluff they write pulls you in until you safe and warm.
