What is your writing style and what do you mostly write? Feel free to include excerpts of your writing as an example.

I've had this horrible writer's block I haven't written anything for a while but I usually write poetry and fanfics. I've done I think two short stories.

Right now I'm neck deep in a book of my own (maybe turn into a novel series, maybe not) which is hard to do because I'm such a perfectionist. I'd post a little of it, however, it's on my laptop and I'm on my desktop right now.
Maybe later. wink

my poetry style is...different. i usually write narrative poems, but i also like to mix and match themes and make it thought provoking. here's a short poem i wrote a long time ago. i have improved from this, i just haven't gotten around to editing this much. i can be a lazy poet sometimes. sweatdrop
Zeitgeist.
In the mid-afternoon desert sun,
a boy sits in the dirt.
From a house a few yards away,
he could hear his mother,
still weeping.
A wind blows,
the boy shivers,
and pulls over him a bloodstained khaki jacket
three sizes too big for him.

Currently I've been writing in the style of Hemingway, short sentence structure, but of course I don't have his genius way of including symbol into my writing.

My style is varied. I am more of a fanfic writer. I am currently working on a cliche vampire story. It was something I started, but I haven't gotten into it yet. I am also working on a poetry piece, but it isn't finished.

It depends on the message I'm attempting to convey. For example, when I want to emphasize the story without drawing much attention to the main character, I use the HG Wells style of the nameless narrator. Without a specific identity, the character seems almost invisible if written right.
If I'm trying to emphasize the character(s), as with my current book in progress, I place heavy detail into the first person perspective; for example, every chapter of my book toggles to another point of view, whose ever will greater relay the intended message, and interprets what is happening in how that person would view it. So someone who hates the main character might not care to notice them, and the chapter would therefore be light on them, but someone who idolizes them would mention them heavily, so on and so forth.

I think my writing really reminds me of Virginia Wolfe's style - particularily with her sometimes fragmented sentences and abrupt changes in topic - but I'm not sure if anyone else would feel the same. Otherwise, my style varies greatly. Most often, especially if I'm working on a longer piece, my writing is very sequentional: a happens, then b happens, then c says, etc. If I'm writing something more introspective, or particularily something in first person, I seem to have a "listing" style. It seems to work, at least for this type of story. Here, for example: Quote: I love that you come home every evening, smelling of fortune cookies and dim sum, that your hair has to be pulled into a tight bun to keep it out of the way and that when you let it go, I can smell chicken fried rice in its strands. I love that you wear black spandex under your bleach stained t-shirt, ready to dash to the rescue at any moment, that you keep your tacky red cell phone in your back pocket, set on vibrate. That you don’t even care if I call it in the middle of the day because I’m bored or because the project isn’t going so well or because I miss you even though I saw you not three hours ago at breakfast. I love that you just sigh, and grin that lazy grin, and you say you’re busy, but you talk to me anyway. I love that you came home from work early to just sit and listen to us gush when Layla came over to tell us she was expecting. I love the little scar on your left shoulder from the time you dove in front of a bullet for me when we were fighting Death Dealer, even though you knew I was invulnerable. I love that you insisted that you were fine despite everything, and that I could barely even hold you down to let you get the bullet taken out and get it stitched up. I was exasperated with you, yes, and I hated your stubbornness at that moment, but when you insisted that I was the one who needed to be taken care of because I’d pulled a muscle trying to save you from your own rescue attempts, I loved you even more. I love the gold hoops in your ears, I love the way you never call me by my first name unless it’s important, and I love the way you hug me tight when it is. I love the way you gasp and scream in bed, the way you flip pancakes in the air, the way you always pretend to forget anniversaries and birthdays, and then I find presents tucked under my coffee mug or on my pillow or under the cushion on my desk chair. I love the way you’ll play the guitar when no one is listening, and the way you sing when you realize I am. I love how you take too long in the shower and never spend any time on your hair. --exerpt from "I Love", by... well, me.Sorry if that seems long... I'm not sure if it is, but I think it gets an image of my "style" across. And boy, is it ever repetitive!

I write mostly fantasy or scifi...but I do have one story thats slightly more realistic. I don't write a whole lot of fanfiction, but every once in a while I get in the mood for it. I also write poetry, although I haven't written any for a long time now.

It depends what mood I'm in, I have different styles depending on what I'm writing. When I write poetry it's mostly doom and gloom, which none of my friends understand and I write a lot of short stories which are mostly science fiction. I've started a new one in my journal, which really shows my style, I love writng descriptive passages.

I mainly do fantasy, but they always turn out humorous.

I can't do anything but fantasy. Not, like, pony-corns or anything, but I have a new idea about a 9/11 story called "Angel at Ground Zero". PM me for more info, it's not developed yet!
