What you'd like to be known for (writing)

[rachel25]

I want to be known for extensive world building and very human characters, despite them being animals. I want readers to feel the characters they way I feel them, I want that to come across through my words.

[Tiria Wildlough]

This is a great thread idea!
I'd love to be known for representation. It's something I'm very passionate about because of the effect it's had on my life. I'd love nothing more than to have kids read my books and see aspects of themselves in the characters, whether it's personality, race, gender, sexuality, or more trivial things. That's why, when I write, I always try to make my characters diverse and unique.
(Plus whitewashed casts are suuuuper boring. )

I want to make people laugh. I want to write a story that has sad things happen to the characters, but the reader stills leaves with a feeling of peace, knowing that the characters were still able to enjoy life, even when something went wrong. I also want to influence my readers' lives and inspire them or encourage them, even if it's just a little thing. It doesn't have to change their lives completely, but I want people to go away feeling a little lighter, or happier, or better.

I would like to be known as a war hero or something like that.

*Facepaws* One Eye, it's supposed to be something to do with writing...
I'd like to be known for my originality and doing new and unexpected things. Plus also for my characters.

At this stage you don't need to know anything. You're a beginner writer. All you need to do is practice writing. There are no magic answers for how to start - you sit down with a pencil and paper (or a computer) and you start.

Forget publishing. That's for the very best writers who will have practiced for years. You don't need to worry about it now, any more than someone who is learning to swim needs to know how selection for the Olympics works.

Enjoy writing, get better at it, and consider publishing again when your writing is as good as the books you read.

I want to be known for being willing to try new ideas, and to surprise the reader in a pleasant manner. Nothing beats a reader response of 'Oh goodness, how did I miss the foreshadowing? Lemme go for a quick reread.'.

[The Grey Coincidence]

I would like to be known as someone who's writing is fun, funny and different, with characters that are quirky and three-dimensional, even if the plots leave some to be desired. I want to write something people can go back to and re-read and enjoy all over again. And every now and then I'd like to reel in some tears or some laughter or both.

This sounds really cliche, but I want to be remembered for being me.

I want to be known for lifting people up, not putting them down.

I want to be known for helping people.

I want to be known for (almost) always being kind until someone gives me a good reason not to be. You never know what someone's been through.

I want to be remembered for having an open mind.

I want to be remembered for my music, which is about mental health.

I don't necessarily want to be famous, but if that's what it takes for my writing and songs to be read and heard, that's what I aspire to do.

if am to be known for writing then it would be for suspense throughout my writing. i would want my readers to crave for more of the story to a point of reading my writing into the late night just because they cant afford to sleep in suspense. i would also want to be known for easy and understandable language.
