#22 Types of writers

I primarily know (most) of the ins and outs of writing, when it comes to stories and articles (I'm still learning everyday though!)

And it has come to my attention that there are a variety of writers who have different writing habits and attitudes when it comes to the written word, whether it be via a laptop, mobile phone, or the old school way of the trusty pen and notebook.
Here are the Top 5 that I have come to witness (just a little bit of fun):

1) The organized writer

The writer that just has it all together; they have everything set in place, their characters, their plot, they have done all of their character profiles; and they plan how many words a day they are going to write. AND their desk looks something like this picture. I may be exaggerating a little, but the latter is all true. And that's not a bad thing, there are writers who do all well and good with doing everything to the 'T'!

2)The hopeful writer

That writer that doesn't necessarily go by the book, but just writes... and writes.. and hopes that it will all work out in the end. I would have to say I think to a certain extent we're all a little bit of the 'hopeful writer', but this writer just writes.. no necessarily plan, but they have the main idea and focus of the story and runs with it.

3) The OCD writer

Not as full on as this.. but the writer that self edits as they are writing.. (and it's only the FIRST draft).

The writer that doesn't like the way the sentence sounds (as they are typing it) and completely re-edits. And re-edits. And re-edits, and by the time they have got to a point, they find that they still haven't got where they wanted to be.

We all do it at some point in our writer journeys. Eventually, it will subside a little.. that's why we have so many drafts..

4) The 'I-want-to-find-another-word-to-say-this' writer

I'm so guilty of this--- you quickly go to google and look for another way to say 'scared' or another way to say 'happy' because after a while when you read your story and you see too much of the same word, it looks too repetitive, so spice it up with synonyms!

5) The old school writer

Whether we are in the new age of computers.. or we enter another new age where computers are even obsolete.. there are a group of writers that will stick it ol' school.. the pen and notebook kind of way. I find it therapeutic to do this.. it's like I'm pouring myself through my pen onto the page... 

Yeah.. I'm old school like that.

So!

Which one can you categorize yourself in?
