the last one doesn't have fur.
What do you consider to be your weak spot when it comes to writing? (e.g speech, events, types of people)
Writing from a male perspective, for sure!

I have to say, I loved the little bit of (un)romance I read in your legacy with disastrous dating! I think I like the awkward romantic/aromantic encounters best of all, and you presented yours in a really engaging, entertaining, and unique way!
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
I have to agree. I think the most romantic moments in literature are when couples are just talking.
sometimes diastorus dating is fun writing. the first time recently divorced ayden attempted to ask christine out instead of will you go out with me? it came out lets get naked.
Thanks and that's just Claudo being awkward because he hadn't dated anyone for a while and didn't want to but his brother had him on a technicality. Next one is with him being more willing but that's not for a little bit.
Descriptive writing. Personally I could write dialogue all day as I feel this is my strong suit, but description? I could write half the post in dialogue before I realize I should probably include some narration. I have to remember to set up and explain the scene (i.e. five senses description and stuff like that). I know we have screenshots to help with that, but I don't want to be too lazy in case I write text - only chapters.
I guess I'm the odd one out. I like writing romantic scenes. I was almost forced to when writing FRWL since Gage had so many partners, but it helped me be more comfortable with writing romance, dating, and woohoo scenes.

pick something else your one of the most descriptive people i know.
I hate writing romantic scenes. Anyone want to write it for me? No. Guess i'll have to do it anyway because it fits in with the storyline for gen 3. I'm an aromantic person so no idea how this is going to work out. I'll manage somehow.
I also banned woohoo scenes from all my stories which is why I skip ahead and they find out they're pregnant.
for me its both speech and being descriptive.
Dialogue.
Whenever I write dialogue I feel like my characters all sound the same. It drives me mad but I cannot fix it for the life of me. I also struggle to walk the line between making the conversation feel natural but not too lengthy.
Also, pacing. I like to develop my characters to try and explain why they behave certain ways, but I also know that can be boring and mundane. However, when I skip over some of the mundane parts I find myself regretting not having explored them more, or that readers don't understand character's motivations/thought processes in certain scenes.
The struggle is real, ya'll.

What do you consider your strength/s?
I don't think I have any now that I think about it.
Ha!
... Maybe I'm my own worst critic?

We're in the same boat. I hate writing romantic scenes too and yup no woohoo scenes for me either!
My limit is reading them Also, hyped for WAWRMO Saturday. You can find out if that crazy doggo theory is correct or not.
Wait....I could publish it now actually. It's....00:31 on my computer clock!
well your more descriptive than me .lol.
Same, although I tend to skip over the woohoo scenes. XD Sooo excited! Can't wait, I bet I'm right.
Chapter Fourteen
I kinda like less description, because too much of it can slow a story down. I like writing that gets straight to the point.
but without romance you would always be in generation1 .
I keep my Grace series really PG. I think Cam & Karlee's wedding night was the most intimate the story has ever been.

Well, I managed to get to gen 3 didn't I and it was with minimum romance. (Ok, I know gen 1 is like 10 chapters long but still counts)
