What People Think Is Hard About Writing: Describing The Joy, Love, Beauty, Grief, Loss And Hope That

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

Tag Yourself: Hogwarts Houses as Types of Writer

Gryffindor: adventure stories, hero's journey, cocky characters, feats of derring-do, writing sprints, writer's block is their personal enemy, battered notebooks stained with careless coffee spills, borrows pens and forgets to return them, a disaster pantser

Hufflepuff: children's books and whimsy, settings full of flowers, massive worlds to explore, quaint villages, romance and friendship, cosy writing nooks, glitter gel pens, scented candles to set the writing mood, classic plantser who follows the fun

Ravenclaw: poetry and philosophy, writes at a desk laden with books, extensive notes in the margins, sticky notes and highlighters, drafts the same page six times and still can't decide, gets distracted by reading, repulsed by the mere thought of writing out of order, always wins NaNoWriMo

Slytherin: dark academia and grim fantasy, snarky heroes and obnoxious villains, hidden passageways and red herrings, fountain pens and Moleskin journals, meticulous plotter, success out of spite, cries when they kill characters but will never admit it

Just between us, I remember it all too well.
