Writers of Offtopic, What is Your Favorite Element of Writing?

Hey guys, it’s me, the guy. Y’know, the guy that comments occasionally on things that you took note of once and then let your relevant neurons fade into obscurity? [i]Alright, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.[/i] Believe it or not, I write things sometimes—not often, but sometimes. If you search the deepest, darkest corners of b.net, you might find some of my writing or stories. As it happens, though, the vast majority of my work (even the work relevant to Offtopic) has never been posted. Much of it sits in documents, random stories, or compilations of information. Apologies, I digress. I’m pretty sure at this point I’m just trying to add actual content to my post, something I’m not good at. Anyways, I will say that those external stories and clumps of information are relevant to the topic at hand. Most writers share a love for writing as a whole, but I’d like to ask what, for you, is it that you just can’t get enough of? Is it character development? Dialogue? Combat? Systems? ——————— I, personally, absolutely [i]love world building[/i]—can’t get enough of it. I love making lore, weapons, items, books, places, history, people, [i]peoples[/i], and everything in between. Typically, world-building ideas will swell up in my head until they reach and apex and melt away, leaving behind their final product, which I write. For example, I have [i]long[/i] documents committed to both the Twilight Armory and it’s contents as well as the contents of the Lighthouse, something of Sylver’s interspatial library, observatory, and magical room of operations. That’s not even to mention the [i]Ravenous Heart.[/i] IIIIII’m not very good at avoiding keeping things concise, and don’t know how to end posts. Please provide your input, I’d love to hear it (really). Uhm, toodaloo.

    Oh "elements" of writing... Well then, world building and character background, are my favorite. I can come up with a setting, maybe a rough plot and world lore. I can also eventually build up a solid character background either revolving around their personality or vice versa. I could come up with possible plot twists or underlying psychological trauma. Heck I could probably attempt to draw them! But actually writing it down in paragraphs on a book? [i]Pfffft![/i] My ideas will most likely just stay in bullet form until I grab motivation out of thin air! [spoiler]double posting for superiority[/spoiler]
