What is the “typical” creative writer's personality? That depends on who you ask. Writers are depicted as everything from painfully introverted and shy to wildly flamboyant and the life of the party.

THE INTROVERT
Most often, writers are stereotyped as being quiet, introspective, and observant. Introverts are the type of people who thrive on being alone, who feel the rise of creative energy when they are not distracted from their own inner voices. There is some inclination among readers to canonize introverted writers as mysterious, deep, mystical, etc.
THE EXTROVERT
Extroverts tend to gather creative energy when they’re around other people when ideas grow organically from conversations. Extroverts enjoy a certain amount of time talking with other people. Extroverted writers may be the life of the party: they might be the type of writers who scandalize the establishment by dancing in fountains or on the bar. They can have reputations for being brilliantly witty, outgoing, and sharply intelligent.
THE PROCRASTINATOR
Procrastinators love writing but often find reasons not to actually do it. They might be just as fearful of it as others are passionate about it. Procrastinators may also get distracted by the busyness of life and allow other things to take priority. When a procrastinator does write, they may feel stress and pressure to get it right, which only intensifies the cycle of delaying. External factors motivate procrastinators, like deadlines. A time-crunch can give them the adrenaline to write, and often writes in big spurts as a result.
THE NIGHT OWL
The night owl experiences their brightest ideas at night. When the sun goes down and the stars come out, they find their creative state and feel inspired. Night owls tend to like peace, quiet, and alone time. At night, they find they can really focus on their ideas undisturbed. The thrill of being alone with their stories can be exhilarating.
THE SPEWER
The spewer writes whatever comes into their mind, whenever it comes into their mind. They are constantly scribbling down ideas as they hit so they don’t forget them. The ideas come quickly, like flashes of disorganized thoughts, and they sift through them later for inspiration. The spewer loves lists and the chaos of the process is a big part of the fun.
THE SCHEDULER
This personality sets their own expectations for writing and they know how to stick to them. They work well with routines and clear milestones. They are disciplined in their writing process, and writing sessions are orderly and productive. Schedulers are goal-oriented and love writing with structure. The scheduler loves routine and when they set an objective, they are good at making it happen. |

I hate bad punctuation. Especially in the written word. Novels, essays, the newspaper, on the TV. Does no one proofread these days?

I didn't know the @ sign has such history as early as the migrant merchant times. It didn't occur to me how widely it was used either. Thanks for the informative NL! |
