![]() ![]() Type Twos are typically pretty well tuned with the people around them. y’all are probably getting tired of hearing my say “character” over and over. *glances up at my above answers* Welllll…. That I totally forget I have to come up with things for those characters to DO.ĭo you think your type impacts how you create characters? Sometimes I can get so absorbed in creating my characters with their backgrounds and personalities and arcs, etc. yeah… I really struggle with that part of the writing process. Maybe my lack of regard for plot? I’d say my specialty is characters and theme. What weaknesses do you find in your writing or process that tie in with your enneagram type? I’d like to think that because of my natural emphasis on people, I’m able to create characters that have a depth and realism to them. I don’t even like calling my villains “villains” because I view all my characters as people–neither hero or villain–just folk with different goals and backgrounds. Like you, and me, and the tired mom across the Walmart aisle. I want my characters to feel like people. My goal is for each of my characters to be unique and able to stand on their own, I don’t want them to be cookie-cutters or anything like that. Strong, realistic characters! I focus a lot on creating characters who not only feel real, but who also have a lot of depth to them. What strengths do you find in your writing or process that tie in with your enneagram type?

I think being a Two may have something to do with how much I focus on building characters. (which, if you ask me, is kinda seriously EPIC)ĭo you find that your enneagram type impacts your writing process? How so, or why not? So, basically I’m a walking human-being contradiction. On the flip side, Twos are known for being empathetic, friendly, and people-oriented. We struggle to understand anything that’s not purely logical. If you aren’t familiar with it, INTPs are known for being really really bad with emotions and all things people. It makes a strange combination with my MBTI type, which is INTP. My enneagram type is a 2! I’m actually pretty proud of that fact. What is your enneagram type, and how do you feel about it? I have a problem with writing sad, tragic stories, and can’t seem to even write a happy story without someone dying at one point or another. I mainly write fantasy, with a side of dystopian and sci-fi. It’s taken me years to come to officially calling myself a “writer.” But honestly? I can’t imagine what life would be like without it (well, okay, yes, I can imagine it, I’m a writer after all… we tend to have oversized imaginations XD). So yes, this all started with me punching out words on a little hand-held tablet. LIKE, WRITE DOWN THE STORIES I DAYDREAMED ABOUT. Some years back, a brilliant realization struck me as I was outside taking care of my rabbits: I COULD ACTUALLY…. I’m a born-again Christian, hardcore nerd, and Hobbit all the way through. Hi, Julia!
