Hahaha, um... My style as a writer is mostly "not"?
I am One Of Those Authors who has 79K words socked away in various Word docs, but has maybe 8K words published; my style, therefore, I guess, is sporadic. From experience, I know I'm not one of those people who can lay out a complex plot; and I'm not one of those people who can plug away at something every day until it's finished. I'm awful about losing interest in things (and gaining interest back at the worst possible time). I go through periods where I scarcely write at all; and I skip from story to story and fandom to fandom as my current fancy takes me.
Endings are the worst. It seems virtually impossible for me to finish a story! And I'm never free of the urge to 'fix' it, either. (I have lost so much writing momentum by getting dragged into the snare of editing what's already written! It's embarrassing.)
In terms of the stuff I don't finish, but dream of finishing... well, I'm pretty shamelessly a smut writer and an eager embracer of my favourite tropes. Smut, I can do, but trying to develop a long and convoluted plot? No way.
One day I dream of being the kind of writer who can do that, but it'd take a lot of training and study.
