Hahah I do the same thing! Though my rresearch stops at watching videos of experts talking about a particular topic instead of research papersI like that my writing is mine. It ain't a beauty, nor would it win any competition, but it is mine, my own accomplishment, and I am proud of it. Also, through writing, I can go down some weird ass rabbit hole on wiki, learning information that is less than useful, entertaining, or even shareable, and I LOVE learning.
I mean, c'mon, don't ya love it when you are 4 pages deep into the naval achieve, looking through the blueprint of a ship so that you can accurately describe the path your character took from the boiler to the mess hall? Or going through a folder of photos of osteosarcoma, scarring yourself so that you can write about some magical ailment with a similar effect? Or going through academic papers on the types of animal horns and their evolution path/need for a worldbuilding session?
That sounds fun! I’m glad you’re connecting with people of similar interestsI like it when I get some supportive comments and meet some new online buddies with similar interests through writing. Being someone who's not exactly a social person irl (and a bit inept at that, I'd even say) it really makes me happy to make some tiny friendships here and there.
Comments, makes me happy.I just saw a wholesome post on reddit and thought I should ask it here. What's your favorite thing about how you write? What do you like about the writing process? Aside from getting the views, I mean.
My writing has flare and personality. I have been told by at least three people now that my writing is theatrical. No, I don't entend to change that since I have fun!What's your favorite thing about how you write?
I like finding new ways to say things, or just putting my ideas into words. I have a vivid imagination, and I am glad there is a medium to capture that.What do you like about the writing process?
