What Can You Write Better Than Anyone?

[FEELINGLUCKYPUNK]

I notice writer talent, to discover what works and fails.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Slow flowing rivers of prose, meandering through a story line made up of tiny moments joined together. And, undoing buttons...

I think saying writing better than anyone is arrogant. I'm from the no matter how good you are there is someone better school.

I'll answer with what I write better than anything else is dialogue.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Nothing, absolutely nothing. But I still write pretty well.

I agree with Lovecraft. There's nothing I do better than anyone else. If I named something I thought I did well I'm sure without much trouble I'd find plenty of writers who do that thing better.

I think I'm pretty good with endings/last sentences. I think about the ending early in the process, and usually have it figured out well before I finish. I like to finish a story with a sentence or paragraph that strikes a particular tone and/or turns a phrase well. I've got a few I'm working on now that I like, at least for the moment. The trick is in getting the rest of the story done so I can publish it.

I write an awesome grocery list.

I write an awesome grocery list.

Now that impresses me, because that's another thing I suck at. My handwriting is bad, for one thing, so when I show up at the store, invariably I cannot read one or more of the things on my list.

Plus, the list never matches the distribution of items throughout the store, so rather than efficiently going from one aisle to the next I go back and forth from one side of the store to the other, inefficiently, as I go down my list.

Kudos to you for mastering this skill.

The trick is to familiarize yourself with a small store, plan out your list in order of the lay of the store (my usual store has fruits and veggies up front, meats and coffee in the middle, dairy at the end) and focus on what you use regularly on your list then fill in with the less often bought things (like paper towels and sandwich bags) and go on to the treat(s).

I don't like shopping and I want it over as soon as possible. I also don't want to have to go back to the store during the week if I can help it.

The greatest praise and condemnation I get from readers is my pithy style. Lawyers love it, social workers hate it. Pithy is telegraphic and to the point.

Situational comedy in drama scenarios. Erotica is often a wonderful, unplanned side line taking on a life of it's own.

I’m usually pretty good a writing checks my ass can’t cash simply because I only flirt with guys now with no intention of putting out my ass to get fucked anymore..hahahaKant

I use http://keep.google.com for my grocery lists. There are lovely check boxes to provide a sense of accomplishment as you navigate the aisles.

And I am the complete opposite of pithy. Long, meandering, rambling stream of consciousness, altho sometimes that can be steam of consciousness. I do meandering (some would say rambling) so well.

 

[Blind_Justice]

Someone told me that, for a blind guy, I do descriptions pretty well.

 

[SamScribble]

After almost 70 years of practice (I didn't learn to write until I was almost six) I can write several things better than most. But better than anyone? I still have quite a bit of work to do (and not a lot of time in which to do it).

 

[FEELINGLUCKYPUNK]

I annoy AHmoderHATERs better than most.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Let's see according to my readers absolutely nothing.

According to me, I can write my life story better than anyone can.

Even though I'm approaching 70, another few years, I still have much to learn.

 

[R. Richard]

I can write stories in my Second Chance or Time Master universes, better than anyone else.
