Have you discovered anything about yourself by writing?

[ArugonW]

I'm trash at writing a story

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

I'm edgy, cheesy and cringe.

 

[GoodPerson]

I'm basically a collection of mental illnesses, having autism, OCD, ADHD and probably shizo. Combined it with depression and having suicidal tendencies plus having a short term memory.

My main mode of living is:
-wakes up
-starts having depression
-tries to psyche myself up
-feels that living isn't worth it
-contemplates suicide
-OCD makes that suicide isn't perfect
-tries asking people for help
-Autism makes me incapable of socializing
-ADHD swiches thought process
-starts talking to myself
-forgets what I'm doing
-starts day normally

If you have lots of reasons to do suicide, then don't mind telling me. I would like to listen to the reasons you contemplate doing such acts and how you encourage yourself not to.

It would be nice to talk with someone who has a disorder, you know?

I would never know if one day, you stopped going online. Because no one told us that you were... Quitting the world.

So, even if you have autism, talk to me. And best, talk to all of us.

You're not alone in the case of autism, you know?

Don't forget, self-esteem.

The world is one hell of a place to laugh at. Don't forget to do that.

You're still writing instead, you hypocrite.
Also, here's what I found about myself by writing:

-Learning English better.
-Able to be mature and actually grow up.
-Finds writing more engaging, even when I encounter Writer's Block.
-Able to improve my grammar (because I'm using Grammarly regularly).
-Hypocrite (in question).

I dont know much about women.

I still dont think i know much about them.

 

[Praybird]

Good discovery: I can come up with tons of names!
Bad discovery: Coming up with names takes so goddamn long!

I found out that I might actually be talented in writing.

Not necessarily in writing well or in writing something popular, but writing itself seems to be something that fits my personality, circumstances, and skill sets.

That I may have some unresolved issues with my parents. Nearly every single one of my MCs have dead or cruel parents. If the parents are dead then the parental figure was someone terrible.

And despite being a fully grown woman with a very happy relationship and kids, I still feel super embarrassed while writing smut scenes.

 

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

I want to write about God's relationship with us and ours to each other.

Also, I thought I liked dragons before but I love dragons.

 

[ElijahRyne]

Did you find anything disappointing, impressive, or concerning whilst working on your stories? I am curious to know.

Grammar, spelling, and the correct words make no sense even when I know the general idea of what must be written.

 

[So_Indecisive]

I am better able to express myself when I write. I find myself capable of profound insights and clear understanding of various topics when I write on it.

When it comes to speaking about it though I'm a dumbass

 

[HungrySheep]

Yeah, I'm bad at writing.

Same.

 

[RepresentingEnvy]

Yeah, I'm bad at writing.

Also same.

Relatable. We live in an era of mental illness.

Do it.

Also, I thought I liked dragons before but I love dragons.

You are a dragon, how come you don't like one? Of course, you love one.

I learned that I'm rather good at writing romance and sex scenes, and that part of that is contributed by my poor romance and dating history so it would seem that having a crappy love life has one benefit!

 

[Notadate]

i dont like boredom and like surival

 

[crbrearley]

I can go into extremely dark parts of my mind and clinically take anything awful out of there. If you ask me to follow a creative logic chain, I don't seem to mind that it ends someplace genuinely awful. And that other people might see that as a perversion or disturbing.

The lesson I've learned about fantasy creation, is that you can do very close to anything you want and still make it all make sense. If you want to know the answer, much of the time it's "people done it." Meaning, that someone with magical power made something insane for their own reasons. Why are Zelenian women the "dominant" sex while Zelenian men are relegated to spending their time raising children and providing passive power for the woman? Well, a woman discovered magic first and she did NOT like men so she cut them off from magic forever. And when even that wasn't enough for her, she made them smaller and less capable physically.
