Three major "good writing" types.

I'll add a fourth.

	Hm?

  Example: John Biles. The man's a genius for epics: Sailor Moon Z,
Dance of Shiva, even Lemon Sherbert. Large, grand stories which manage
to mesh seemingly unrelated plot points into one complete story.

I love writing epics.  I can't stop myself.  This drives my co-authors

	An' we love you writing epics. :)

crazy in my joint projects as my episodes tend to include several plots
that don't directly connect, but will connect in the longer term.  So then
I get forced to trash all but one of them ^_-

	Well.... ^_^ That's really a pity. But hey, the ones that survive
are pretty good.

A fourth type is the Character Author, in which getting inside the mind of
the characters is the important thing.  The plot may be flimsy, but this
type of author is very good at conveying the whole person of his/her/its
characters, from dialogue to mannerisms, to personality.  A good character

	Hmm...actually, I think this is a combination of the wordsmith and
the mood shaper. The conveying of the character comes across as the
general feel of the thing, as well as the choice of wording, so that the
reader can almost see the character's thoughts. Still, it is an important
subtype, I'll admit.
