Have you discovered anything about yourself by writing?

[BernKatstel]

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

I found that I can actually complete an entire manuscript, should I give focus to it.

And planning, combined with self-discipline, works.

One of the reasons I wrote my story was that I felt lonely and wanted to psych myself up into going to make friends.

What I realized is that I don't actually want to be around other people. I prefer to be on my own, for the most part.

It really killed my motivation to write the story though... I can't relate to the character at all, lol.

My capacity to go on and on without thinking is better than I thought. It's like impromptu acting but writing.

Wish I had this one. I can only go for five hundred words before I have to pay attention again

I discovered that my autism adds a certain flavor to the story.

I write best when I stay awake for more than 18 hours. That's not a good thing.

Oh yeah, I got this one too.

Same…

Also I found out that I'm a dumbass - I remember the most useless things about my own novels, but if I want to remember an important plot point, I need to re-read everything.

My "autism" just involves an obsession with roman blood sports and elaborate magic

Blood and magic is something we can both get behind.

I'm touch starved but I don't want anyone to be near me.

 

[ArcadiaBlade]

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

 

[WeissBlatt]

- I'm easily influenced by the media I consume.
- My chuunibyo phase never ended.
- I have a... *gulp* girl fetish.

 

[Sovrign]

Writing is hard and I don't like doing hard things. Still I'm writing. I'm a hypocrite.

 

[SsemouyOnan]

Yeah, I'm bad at writing.

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

I discovered that I have a very hurt soul and that I really like making my MCs go through hell for no apparent reason

 

[TheEldritchGod]

I'm apparently quite flammable.
