- I don’t have a chronological order for how I write posts, sometimes I’ll write the last paragraph first and work backwards, or it’s total chaos. Either way, somehow writing happens
- When I read someone’s reply, I note all of the things I think of when I read it and write it down. I sometimes make an outline of my reply I have planned when reading but...sometimes I don’t. I have general thread + character notes I make alongside the outline which I write at the start, and sometimes I nearly forget to edit them out which /would/ reveal too much if I left them in
- I absorb other people’s writing and am extremely reflective, I like building on already established things if I’m allowed to do so, though I understand when someone wants more control
- Sorry, I have an extremely broad and I fear is annoying sense of humour and it’s injected in my writing like some kind of contagion, though I usually keep this appropriate to my character’s perspective or reflective of it even if not a direct indication of it. Like yeah, my drier characters you will most likely, see much more subtle hints of it overall, but I will slide something in I’m sure
- I keep a list of seemingly arbitrary statistics that aren’t really arbitrary. Don’t worry, there’s totally no hidden metres going on or anything, trust me~
- I think of everything I read as exclusive to that character's perspective, so even when someone is actually misinterpreting my character, I think it’s their character doing it, and not the player. I find this fun
- I discard roughly a paragraph of text or much more per post, most of my editing is removing stuff, and then making sure that my writing is comprehensible after doing all that. I have been trying to do less of this lately on the sites I’m playing on, but I regret it and will probably go back to cutting a lot more out
- There’s certain words I always use, even 10 years later, and unique misspellings of them that I miss when proofreading. At this point? It’s flavour
- Doing-this-relatively-often or doing-this, I almost exclusively do this in my RP writing I notice (and I only use parenthesis in-body-text in RP writing compared to any other type)*
