I think I'm actually a really good writer! I don't have a massive output, and I can't write really fast, but I think I'm great at digging into characters and making readers feel things!

I'm might be really good at problem solving! I'm not called on to do this a lot, and I'm slightly less good at problem solving for myself, but that's mostly because my brain likes to move the goal post on me so much, which leads me to spend a lot of time thinking I'm bad at it, but I'm at least 90% sure I'm actually good at it.

Relatedly, I have some pretty great spreadsheet skills? I love using spreadsheets to solve problems, because I can basically make them do all the maths for me, and it's fun figuring them out and they're really good for organising information too, which is probably another thing I like and am probably good at.

I… think I might be good at helping people write? Especially during the brainstorming/outlining phase? I have some pretty good insights for themes and parallels? Granted, I have only ever done this for one (1) very close friend… but they are an incredibly tough customer, being planner-phobic, so I think I deserve double points for this!

I'm also pretty good at seeing where other people are coming from, or understanding alternate points of view, which is not to say that I never believe other people are just stupid or wrong (I believe that a lot of the time), more like I can understand why they're being stupid or wrong about things. That's probably a valuable skillset, in this day and age, right? (^_^;)

You absolutely deserve double points, and you are absolutely a good writing helper, and I appreciate you. ♥
