1. Do you use a lot of adjectives or adverbs? Or are you not a very descriptive writer?

2. Do you like to write in first person (using “I”) or second person (“you”) a lot?

3. Are your sentences really long? Do you use a lot of commas, semicolons, etc.?

4. Do you like to explain things a lot, or do you like to jump from one idea to another?

5. Do you use really complicated vocabulary and grammar, or do you like to “keep things simple”?

6. Do you like to write using a lot of examples (e.g. real life stories)? Or do you write using a lot of theory (e.g. ‘concepts’ like ‘evolution’)? Or maybe a combination of both?

There are a lot more questions I could add, but this is just to get you started. Good luck! 😉
