Novels? Screen plays? Stage plays? Games? Poems? Roleplays?
What do you write? Are you published? What genre(s) do you usually find yourself writing?
I write poetry mostly, but I'm also working on a novel or two. I'd love to finish a stage play and see it performed opening night, and I do try my hand in RPs.
I need to submit to more literature magazines and finish my projects; I'm yet to be published (outside of a school creative arts magazine)!
What about you?
Addendum:
Do you think I should put a list in this post of who writes what kind of work(s)?

I'm primarily a fiction writer (working on a novel with a couple others stewing on back burners), but occasionally dabble in poetry (mostly dramatic monologues, which are poems for novelists). I similarly need to get my ass in gear on the lit mag front... Mrrr.

Definitely a fiction and poetry writer.  |

Though, I've tried to write plays and I've begun to craft a few novels, but I'm better at short works. I don't know why. Maybe my short attention span has something to do with that..

I try to write realistic fiction (I wrote a crappy novel for NaNoWriMo dabbling in the supernatural, but it failed really hard) and so I'm rewriting it. I also write poetry about a variety of subjects. I've written some flash or micro-fiction that have really cut-off endings.

Oh, oh, specifics: suspended disbelief and/or fantasy, depending on my mood and the terminology I feel like using that day. Today, I'm in the mood to use the "and/or," just for shits and giggles.

I guess I'll get more specific, as well. I always write fiction, lest it be a journalistic article or editorial or some such. My novels are a contemporary LGBT fiction and a post-apocalyptic horror/in-search-of-Utopia quest... thing...
And I generally keep my poems to a (college ruled) page's length, unless they're a sestina or some such.
Oh, and do y'all think I should put a list in the OP of who writes what kind of stuff?

erotic fan fiction or just plain erotic fiction.
Sometimes I write abstract stories based on my nightmares or poems based on existentialism.
I also love writing about elves and fairies.

Fiction.
When I was in high school, I wrote exhaustively. I haven't written much in the years since, aside from the occasional one-off short story or random inspiration. I have a couple of really great ideas I'd like to put on paper...I just don't feel inspired enough to write them.

Fiction, to put it broadly. I'd love to actually make a living off of writing some day, big expansive novels but... it doesn't quite work out that way.
Most of what I am doing now is a kind of realistic short-short, and the occasional poem. I'm an avid sci-fi reader, and I'd love to write it, but every time I start the premise just feels... cheap. I think I might have read too much good sci-fi to ever think that mine is passable, heh.
I've been getting a little bit more into creative non-fiction lately, working through some life experiences. Actually, a lot of my short fiction starts as non-fiction, but if I'm in the right mood it takes its own path after a few lines. I love it when that happens.
I've got a 10 page fiction story that one of my professors urged me to get published... still waiting to hear back from 9 out of the 10 literary magazines that I sent it to. We'll see how that goes!

I write pretty much everything. I'm one of those people that wants to write the next great American novel, but I can't stand my writing style.
Instead I do pretty well with my absurdest plays, strange poems, and meh short stories.
I am actually working on a children's novel though. It's actually been quite a blast to be working on.

From elementary school to early high school I wrote novels, but I'd run out of steam after 30 pages or so. I started getting more into poetry my junior year. In college I started blogging and writing for the newspaper, but I'm not a big nonfiction person...

I have a couple of really great ideas I'd like to put on paper...I just don't feel inspired enough to write them. +1. That's pretty much how I feel all the time. I tried my hand at poetry a little while ago (much better than my young adolescent 'poetry'!), and I think they're not too terrible, but certainly not good enough. I'd love to be a poet, more than a novelist, I think now. Mainly because poems are shorter! |

Short fiction. I try to write longer things, but I lose track of what happens and it gets all jumbled up. Thirty pages seems to be my limit of understandable writing.
