10 thoughts on “Traits Writers Have in Common – What I Learned from an Author Panel”
I obsessively clutch onto a word or try to squeeze dry my mind for a particular word, even when it’s not to be used in my writing…so glad I’m not the only one haha!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful post.
I share all those writerly traits except the last one–my goal IS to entertain, others and myself. If I tell a good story, one that pulls the reader into my created world and out of their own for a little while, I’ve done what I set out to do.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Mike. I have a sister that’s an accomplished poet and therefore, referred to as “the writer in the family”. I never thought there could be two or felt ‘worthy’ but I meet all the behavioral patterns. Thanks. I do post to WordPress and am proud of my posts.

‘Post’ and “posts” – how about “post” and “writings”?!

MC Clark,
Yes, it’s hard to do, but when it all comes together, you know it was worth the effort.
Yep…🙂
Thanks for sharing.
It’s when I read things like this that I wonder, “am I really a writer? “
mstoywhisperer,
There’s no stock model of a writer, just as there’s no set formula for the process of writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Be proud.
