What kind of writer am I, sounds like a simple question. Well it is and yet it isn't all at the same time. For me personally I am a Science reality fiction writer, try saying that three times fast. What I do is take a more science fiction style and yet ground everything within reality and explain how things like hovercrafts can well hover. I mostly tend to write about warfare, murder, or intrigue; each of those topics seem to be the easiest styles for me to write. Sometimes I will do hybrid styles to create new types of genres, or to heighten the sense of reality within a story.
I have been writing ever since I was very young, and so writing just seems to come naturally to me though don't get me wrong I was not a born writer but became one as I started to develop. Some of my first stories were no different then anyone elses, I just happened to enjoy it more then most and continued to develop stories into the novels and books I write today. You don't need to be born a great writer, just have enough passion for it to continue writing until you become great.
I guess I am not really rare though, I mean look at Eric Nylund, the writer behind books 1, {Halo: Fall of Reach} and 3 {Halo: First Strike} within the Halo book series. My style is much like his, and the way that he describes combat, with a sense of urgency and an air of uncertantity to make it more real is very much what I strive for in my own writings. Now don't try to associate all of the books within the Halo-verse as being his. For instance the second one entitled Halo: The Flood, was one of the worst books I had read, and that is very disappointing; luckily Eric Nylund was not the author and had no say in how the book was written.
I guess the only thing anyone can really do, besides being born and uncannily good writer, is write until they are as good as they want to be. I may or may not have been born witha writer's touch, I am not sure, i do know that I started writing when I was very young and have become a much better author now adays. Its like one of my favorite quotes says, "A man chooses a slave obeys!" -Andrew Ryan, fictional character from 2k's Bioshock, now do you choose to pursue writing or let someone else tell you how to do it?
