Writers: How would you *define* your writing?

Question

Forget for the moment you are trying to get published.

Forget for the moment that you are trying to impress the masses.

Looking at what YOU have created with your mind, your imagination, and your creative juices...

How would you define what you have created?

Powerful?

Moving?

Electric?

Sensual?

Inspiring?

What kind of words would you use to exemplify your work?

(No bashfulness allowed!)

Answer 1

I define my writing as etchy and blunt, like a slow moving graphic novel without color. It's always a tale of people and their adventure through a maze of problems that is life.

I don't think what I have created is powerful or moving, electic or senual. Atleast not by itself. What I've created is just a part of myself that I have let go of. Part of myself that I have channeled into writing, like capturing a still-frame picture of my own soul.

I'm not a writer though, because I lack the fundamental skill of actually writing. A writer needs more ambition than any businessman, because they will always be asking 'Is this story worth telling?' I don't know, writing is the easiest thing to do, but the hardest thing to do well.

Answer 2

Interesting. I'd like to think: captivating. Clean. Fun. If I tried to impress ALL the masses, people might not find it so fun, because there's no sex and virtually zero sensuality. It's family friendly.

Answer 3

Provocative, astute, product of pure Romanticist imagination, Stoical, Gothic and of course my writing.

Answer 4

Personal & Honest... because I write from the heart. Enough said.

Answer 5

Gripping.

Answer 6

maybe not electric, but definitely eclectic; focused, fun, emotive, provocative, comforting, fantastic, biographical, newsworthy, pugnacious, straight public relations (hmm.), historical, hysterical, histrionic, rightonit, active, constant and compulsive... etc! ;-}
