What is your preferred writing outlet?

[Calun the Bat]

So, I've been in love with writing since I was little. My dad read me The Hunt For Red October when I was three (and many others, specifically Shakespeare), so I as exposed to literature really early, and it became my thing.


I have a self published novel, and I'm working on about three other projects of various natures at the current moment.


However, I've noticed that many writers are interesting creatures.


Whether it's a story we want to tell, details about life we wish to examine, or feelings and emotions we wish to convey and confess; we often find ourselves in a particular means of expression.


What I mean, is that some of us are amazing with poetry, while creating a novel, or even a short story may prove difficult to impossible in the mind. Similar views and feelings are in all angles of the situation. Some may be confident with crafting a short story, but find any form of poetry to be too daunting or restricting for them to express themselves the way they'd wish to.


For myself, I prefer writing stories, but I'm also (and have been) in love with poetry since I was very young. I'm working on a collection that is a gallery mixed with random expressions of generally beautiful (I hope, anyhow) words to create an image, as well as a release of some of my emotions, feelings, and views that otherwise are trapped inside my head.


Er. Long story short, I guess I'm asking what everyone prefers? If any preference exists?


So mine would be novels and poetry.

Hey again, Calun

To answer your question, I write novels and draw comics. I wish I could make a picture book/novel without it giving off the vibe of a children's book. Nothing wrong with children's books, it's just not the thing I would want to specialise in, if that makes sense?
Although (if I recall correctly) I've been told twice that I possibly have talent for it...   ._.

So therefor I spread that out into writing novels and drawing comics
I've been trying to get motivation again for drawing comics, but it's hard to see if people are interested in such a thing. Maybe if I would draw more comics and people would let me know... Otherwise for now I focus on what I do, which is drawing and just writing my characters' stories ^^

Hope that answers your question!

Hey!


I wouldn't call myself a writer since I haven't really written anything (other than my sona's lore which is still in progression) but from what I am really getting intrigued is a good story. I like plot twists, I love drama and I love good characters.


I've spent some time reading other people's stories and I am very excited for making my own sona's lore..


So what inspires me you can say is novels that have a good story and good characters ^^

Very cool! Thank you both for your answers. I suppose there really wasn't any particular reason for this post, beyond curiosity as to what different people like, are motivated and inspired by, etc...


I think it's really interesting!

Personally I have a short attention span (which means I get very bored drawing or writing long stories very easily :p) but I do enjoy writing short stories and poetry. Poetry mostly for conveying emotions and short stories just for fun ^^


If anyone knows a place where I can put them online instead of just having them squished in notebooks I'd be very greatful

No problem, Calun ^^

I would suggest then you can write them on your PC and then you can use deviantArt and FurAffinity to upload them. They take writing formats as well

Nice one, cheers for that mate
