You Should Be a Film Writer

http://images.blogthings.com/whattypeofwritershouldyoubequiz/film.jpg

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

http://images.blogthings.com/whattypeofwritershouldyoubequiz/sci-fi.jpg

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

Not much of a suprise there. I've already made one short movie with some of my mates :cool:

As long as it isn't as crap as Star Trek, though it wouldn't be hard to beat it.

You Should Be A Poet

http://images.blogthings.com/whattypeofwritershouldyoubequiz/poet.jpg

You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

I think I'd be more likely to be the 'tortured poet' sort than the kind in the picture...

You Should Be a Joke Writer

http://images.blogthings.com/whattypeofwritershouldyoubequiz/joke.jpg

You're totally hilarious, and you can find the humor in any situation.
Whether you're spouting off zingers, comebacks, or jokes about life...
You usually can keep a crowd laughing, and you have plenty of material.
You have the makings of a great comedian - or comedic writer.

probably because I used to be a stand up comedian?

although I am writing a book, and also 2 screen plays (I have been working on the screen plays for about 8 years now though........I wonder if I will ever be done? even when I get done if I sell it, they will change it, so I don't know why I work so hard on it now)

Thanks for the insight. Seriously, those tests never tell me anything I don't know. Why do I waste my time taking them? Next time anyone makes a thread with a test like this, just list the results and I'll tell you what I'm going to get before taking it.

You Should Be a Song Writer

http://images.blogthings.com/whattypeofwritershouldyoubequiz/song.jpg

You have the ability to evoke emotion, tell a story, and hook someone...
In a very small amount of words, perhaps with some deft rhyming.
Even if you can't write music, you can sure write compelling lyrics.
Lyrics so good, people will have them stuck in their heads!

I was a borderline one though, one step over and I would have been a Sci Fi writer. In reality, I don't want to do either (although Sci Fi wouldn't be bad), I prefer modern fantasy, speculative history, and old fantasy.

So - make them "poignant, cynical, psychological tales of relationships severed".... between robots, and everyone's happy!

What a boring test. There's no attempt to research the topic deeper. It's just in the vein "OK, so you're a Star Trek nerd". A "non-obvious" plot and setting doesn't mean science fiction. Think Palahniuk, for example.

If I was a writer, I'd do everything to induce a mindfuck.

You make it sound as if it's a bad thing. It's not like I'd be writing unoriginal, uninspired tripe.

And who says I'd write movies, anyway? Why couldn't I write deep, interesting, complex storylines for RPG's? I'd much rather do that than write movies (though that wouldn't be out of my interest).
