What are you good at?
Every writer has strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing.

For instance, one might be excellent at detail, while another excels at action.

For me it's dialogue. I discovered that again writing my nano (now at 12,117 words and counting. I may actually get to 14k by the end of the day. Woohoo!).

In every scene, I bet over 80% is dialogue. I actually have to pause and consciously add detail or action.

But, like my hubby said yesterday, the point of Nanowrimo is to write 50k words; they don't have to make sense or even be coherent. It's to help us get into the habit of writing every day.

I have a few questions for you: What are your writing strengths and weaknesses? If you're doing nano (or simply writing because you gotta), do you find yourself concentrating on those strengths, or trying to strengthen your weaknesses?
