Writing by Astrology: What Your Star Sign Says About Your Writing Style
(pls don't @ me)
Let’s mix it up and have a little fun this week. 12 authors, 12 star signs! Do you resonate with any below? The opposite? Let me know in the comments!
Aries: Aries may find themselves bored writing a book with lower stakes or slower pacing. This might mean they veer off the original outline, chasing something that feels more exciting in the moment.
Taurus: They either use incomplete sentences, or they’ve never considered using a comma in their LIFE. Possibly both. The message and goal will always outweigh grammar rules.
Gemini: Obsessive with details, but while they often feel like it slows them down, my Gemini friend admits it means they’re able to stitch details together nicely.
Cancer: Cancers are known for being sentimental and compassionate. This may allow them to connect with their characters in a unique way and thus communicate their plight with readers even better.
Leo: Ah, the rush on an impending deadline. The Leo in my life is motivated by panic. In fact, they thrive on it! The impending doom helps channel their humor or dry wit. Above all, know thyself!
Virgo: They’re practical. Analytical. Sometimes this pragmatism is a blade turned toward their psyche. Other times they’re so invested in mapping out scenes and agonizing over the minutia that they end up having a bag of chips for dinner. (again)
Libra: You get a comma! You get a comma! Toss ‘em like confetti—it’s basically art. My Libra friends have beautiful hearts and tend to enjoy the balance and security of a firm novel structure. They also love green beans!
Scorpio: No one hyper fixates on a challenge like a scorpio, espcially if that challenge is a novel that’s darker, deeply emptional, or mysterious in nature.
Sagittarius: You love the journey! So much so that you tend to spend a long, long time journeying. The Sagittarius in my life is the ten-year drafter—except for that one random short story/fanfic they blitzed through that’s completely different from the book of their heart.
Capricorn: Voted mostly to have a keep a daily writing habit! They tend to keep their heads down and get the work done, something that benefits them greatly in the long run.
Aquarius: They have a desire to find what hasn’t been written yet and fill that void, or to take something familiar and turn it on its head!
Pisces: Pisces adore a beautiful, sprawling fantasy world or poetic prose. This deep root in their work allows their voice to shine through.
BAMBOOZLED!! But also very clever 😅
Can confirm about the green beans!
