I want to start the week on an upbeat note, so today's discussion topic is: What are you aces at with respect to writing? Dialogue, plot, porn, whatever it is that makes you feel proud and on top of your game.

For me, I often get on a dialogue roll, which is an amazing feeling, having the characters banter in my head.

Time out due to headache and general monthly unwellness ...

I think my strength is more coming up with detailed and hopefully interesting plots and some canons that I do write well (meaning I often get comments that the character felt true/real).

I still need to improve a lot on dialogue, porn or even pacing, grammar and such. A lot also depends on how much I can visualize the scene or what is going on in the character's head. Sometimes dialogue comes easy, sometimes the tone feels off and then it is really hard work and I am never completely happy with the results.

Your strengths are great ones!

[the_rck]

I'm good with dialog and internal monolog. I'm also good at writing from the point of view of an unsympathetic character and keeping them unsympathetic while making them understandable.

[sperrywink]

That's great, particularly the unsympathetic character bit. I must admit, I am not good at that.
