Can You describe Yourself as writer, with 5 words? Best regards: A. Tomov - junior
Ed Ireland
Wow, this is hard. Let's start with persistent. Once an idea forms, it takes a mountain to move it. If I think it will work, I'll do it until proven wrong. I'm inquisitive, always wanting to know why. Why do people do that or why does the smell of air change when rain is coming. I just want to know why. I'm hard-headed for sure, but that walks along with being persistent. I'm thorough. I keep lists all over about character names and quirks, army counts and just about anything else. I never want my stories to be out of whack no matter what number in the series it is. I'm patient to a point. For instance, my entire writing routine has been in disorder for the last 6 months, setting all my projects back. Surprisingly, I have not killed anybody. I'm saving that for future books :-)
So, persistent, inquisitive, hard-headed, thorough and patient. That sounds about right even though there are a lot of other words that might fit. Thick-skinned, loud, eccentric...that's polite for crazy...relentless and so on. I guess it doesn't matter much what you describe yourself as. The real test is what your readers use to describe you.
