I'm a very descriptive writer, I enjoy using the senses to pull you into my characters mind. Conversation doesn't come so easy for me, as such that is usually the place I have to revisit over and over through the draft process. I think that reflects on my own personality as an Introvert.
I'm not shy, in fact I'm very open with almost everyone, but I only say about an eighth of what I am thinking, and I don't speak rashly, I am very deliberate in what I say. You see, I hate apologizing, and for me its easier to filter with the idea that I need to be sure about my words because I don't want to eat them later. But I know most people aren't like that. Most people aren't on that cusp of being a sociopath, which I readily admit that I am. Most people will let passion take flight and rage in ways that I can't. This need for control can be seen in my writing process. I think its fun to be able to see that much of who and what I am as I explain the way I work to other people.
These deficiencies in my own character are the same hurdles that I face in my writing, and the things I love most when reading the writing of other people. How about you?
