What kind of writing am I?
I've spent a good part of the day thinking about this. Several people on several lists have been pondering whether they were writers or not. Personally, I think that, if someone posts on a writers list that they are wondering if they are a writer, then they have just answered their own question. What these people really want is validation, and to figure out kind of writing they are.

No, that's not a typo. I did say what kind of "writing". I posted about this in a friend's blog comments earlier, but decided I would make a post of my own about it.

Here is what I said in the comment:

ALL of us are WsIP (works in progress). How we write our life stories is entirely up to us. Me? I'm working on a comedy...with plenty of pratfalls, blunders, madcap adventures, and hopefully a few lessons thrown in along the way. Yes, I am a sitcom. LOL

So, what kind of writing are you? Seriously. Think about it. Are you a comedy (copycat!), a drama, a horror flick? Is the kind of writing you are the kind you want to be? If not, can you change it?

So, to answer my own questions, I am a comedy and I am prefectly happy with that. Sometimes I'm a dramedy, and yes, there is even some horror thrown in (aka my husband LOL), but for the most part, I'm a sitcom in the making. If only I could solve all my problems in 22 minutes...
