Ooh I like this daily prompt! Sometimes the daily prompts don’t feel very nice to talk about, like I want to share but still feel uncomfortable writing it down, so this one will feel nice to talk about and I hope it will uplift other people’s spirits too, who are doing this daily prompt!
I think I’m good at writing stories! It’s also why I decided to write my travel experience in Granada in a story format, with my anxieties being personified into a small monster that will pester me throughout the story.
Because writing an actual story, chapter by chapter requires me to remember a lot of details about the trip I’ll only do with really recent travel experiences though but it’s fun writing!
I think my main strength in story writing is my dialogue and I feel like I need to improve on my descriptive writing but I do think I’m good at writing plot twists into my stories too 🙂 I am thinking of doing another website that I will mainly use for creative writing. I also think I’m good at writing poems too, so if I get around to doing that website I’ll likely write down a lot of poems, which will be fun!
I think who helped me realise I was good at story writing was when I got confirmation from my English teacher in my first year. I have mentioned her before in another prompt. I had to write a story about a sock, I know strange right? But I turned it into a fantasy story and I think it was the first time someone had ever acknowledged, the effort I had put in, apart from my parents.
I also think I’m good at analysing visual images from films or television shows. I can’t remember the exact wording but it’s where you look at the colours, the specific shots used, and the symbols on screen and basically analyse what the content is trying to tell us without saying anything. I love hidden meaning you can draw from so many scenes if you look deep enough!
During my first year at University, I once wrote a page worth of analyse of one single screen shot from BBC Sherlock and I had fun doing it!
I also think I’m good at relating to other people and understanding how they are feeling which sometimes makes me upset and confused when sometimes other people don’t understand or don’t try too perhaps and I’m just thinking, why are you saying or acting like that, it’s so clear to me that what you are doing will hurt the others feelings and then they get confused as to why they hurt the other persons feelings while I’m thinking, how did you not see that coming?! However just because I feel like I am good at understanding others feelings, it unfortunately doesn’t mean I know what to say 😅 I wish it did!
I am usually quite down on myself so it is nice to think about!
