Mine 🙈
My writing style is more realistic(?) and raw I suppose, in that I cannot write hugely poetic lines/purple prose mostly because I don’t believe anyone thinks or says things that way.
“The blue of her eyes was as deep, dangerous and strong as the ocean – I used every ounce of my sanity in an attempt to stay afloat, because I knew otherwise that I would’ve sunk and drown in both temptation and submission.
That was the most difficult battle of all, fighting the part of me that longed to sink to the deepest depths of her reach, the part that wished to embark on a journey for which my heart would have no return.”
Sort of stuff like that is a big no for me. I don’t have my heart in it most of the time and my mind constantly says “What a load of BS.” Whenever I try to write stuff like that or read it. Although I do admire writers who can do it really well, but it’s just not really my thing even though sometimes I try my hand at it.
I also like to have all of my full stops or commas at the end of dialogue bubbles to be standard with no text effect regardless if the last word has a text effect.
I write various genres (dramedy, horror, sci-fi, historical romance, thriller, fantasy etc.) and each story of mine has different personalities, different slang, quirks, moods, tones, atmospheres etc but I do love to incorporate into every one of my stories: sarcasm, slow burn romance and a female lead/or supporting lead who doesn’t fawn over her LI within the first meeting.
I’m the type of writer that likes to write various endings for different stories, sad endings, wtf endings, happy endings, bittersweet endings and open endings.
Directing-wise, I have to incorporate every “basic” that I know of: filters, bubble placements, zooms, spot directing, overlays, animated overlays, smooth transitions, volume adjustments etc. Only for some stories will I consider complex branches, mattering choices and point systems which to me is the more advanced stuff.
Another one of my habits when writing is when I have various characters in a scene, I’ll have the zoom do a close-up of a character speaking anywhere between 0.2-0.4 seconds, but only for the first time that character speaks which allows the readers to get more of an idea of the setting and where they’re standing in that scene. After that character has already spoken, for any further dialogues or thoughts after that, their zoom is 0 seconds.
My biggest thing though is probably that I love to have long openings and endings for seasons beginnings and ends like movies/series’ do and I’ll always use overlays for those because of the aesthetic.
