Knowing what type of author you are will do wonders to help you sharpen your writing skills. When we become aware of our strengths and weaknesses, we begin to flourish.
Nobody is perfect at writing. Not even Stephen King or George R.R. Martin. But the one thing these authors know about themselves is how they write and what they need to work on in order to improve themselves.
But those pros have been at it for years. They had to put in hours, weeks, and years before they were able to determine what type of writer they were.
And with the self-publishing world on the rise, who has time for that?
It’s so important now, more than ever, that you realize your strengths and weaknesses as an author from the start. When you know what you need to buckle down on and what you should spend time highlighting in your work, you can save time while writing and become a better writer overall.

That’s great Isabel! So glad it helped 🙂 I got Stephen King too!!
“Fast and faulty”? My problems are I can’t write fast enough (I’m always looking for ways to up my word count), I get TMIS about which direction to take a story in, and the closer my book gets to “done,” the more critical my internal editor gets (or my inspiration/drive weakens, either way, the difficulty level goes up as I get closer to completion).
What I CAN do is edit, proofread, layout, design a cover for, and otherwise take a book all the way to the printer (and if the “printer” is me, even bind it) and teach others to do it on the way. My problem is in publicizing and marketing a book that can’t rely on being the only “fish in the pond” to sell.
(Hmm. Apparently I took this quiz before, and was declared a J.K. Rowling. Sounds like it was a better fit. I’ve got a book I’ve been working on, off and on, for over ten years.)

That’s amazing!! So glad you enjoyed it. Did you share your results on Facebook or Twitter?
This was GREAT! not only was it fun, but it showed me some things I may need to change..and I think it’s SUUPER awesome that I’m author twins with someone as brilliantly minded as Steven King.
