What is your writing process? Do you go in one fell swoop? Do you leave and come back? Do you use a thesaurus? Do you re-read and swap out words? Do you try to match/beat your partner's length? Do you care about length at all? Do you look for fancier words? Do you get straight to the point? As artists, we only ever see your finished product. How do you craft your work?

it's pretty fuckin messy !! lmao

i mostly knock each draft out in one fell swoop -- that is, if i start to write a reply, i generally finish it. that isn't always the case, but like...9.5 times out of 10. i subscribe to the ' just write something down and fix it later ' school of thought, so a lot of re-reading and editing happens after the first draft (pay no mind to how i still have hella typos)

i tend to match my partner in a lot of ways, i think. length definitely, although i tend to lean on the shorter side compared to many -- but in style, too. i like it when a thread is really cohesive, and when switching between replies doesn't feel too jarring, so i'll usually be more verbose or prose-y with writers who are the same, while using more direct language with writers who lean that way

personal preferences : i try hard not to use the same words too often , and ill check not only between paragraphs but between replies to make sure that im not being too repetitive. i also care about flow a lot. i'll go back and look at the length of each sentence to make sure that i have a good variance, although i definitely have a bias towards long sentences. i love a good semicolon.

my ability to metaphor is a strong work in progress LMAO
