Do you considering yourself a unique writer?

  • Be honest here, do you consider your writing/writing style unique? It's okay if you don't think it is, and is like a lot of other people's.

    I do consider the way I write to be different from a lot of people. I love making my own metaphors, and also do something where the metaphor or phrase evolves throughout the chapter/section I'm writing. Since i find stuff like "can cut the tension with a knife" to be overdone, so I like to invent my own that suits my story needs.

    Here's an example:

    "Uneasiness had taken residence inside him" > "Fear made a down payment within the residence inside him" > "Fear made its first mortgage payment within the residence inside him" until it finally ended with: "fear immediately made its second mortgage payment inside him." (It's something I'm seeding throughout in separate paragraphs, obviously, lol.)

    I'm sure a lot of people do something like this with their usage of metaphors, maybe, but I think it's something that's fun and unique to do.

    I have my own way of doing things in some cases, and then it's pretty unoriginal in others. I still work on finding my own writing styles even today, seeing as I'm often unhappy with the way my writing turns out.

  • I think it's hard to say for sure. I think a lot of my story/world/character ideas aren't especially unique, but I've been told before that I tend to approach these ideas in a different way to most.

  • To be honest I get so hard over myself when I think about my writing style because before I had folks say that I get awkward sentences every paragraph and I'm like "If people can't understand my writing do I really have a writing style?" Friends that read my works though mentioned that my writing tends to be more of a happy/hopeful tone and good character studies.
