🔥 What Kind of Fire-Shaper Are You?
You’ve spent time in the forge — felt the sparks fly, the coals burn low, and the occasional moment where everything caught fire just as you figured out what you were doing.
But have you ever stopped to ask:
How do you rewrite?
What drives your process?
Not every writer approaches the fire the same way.
Some blaze.
Some flow.
Some carve.
Some build.
And some… drift through the smoke and conjure brilliance out of creative chaos. (Looking at you, Ether folks.🜁)
I’m a Water writer.
So is Jael — one of my protagonists in Elemental Divide.
Her journey is shaped by tide and storm, and so is mine.
Water doesn’t rush — it returns. It deepens. It wears things down until the truth is revealed.
That’s how I write. That’s how I rewrite. And when I recognized that — everything changed.
This quiz is more than a fun check-in.
It’s a way to understand how you work in the fire — and how your elemental style might reflect what your story needs most from you.
🜂 Take the quiz. Find your style. Embrace your fire.

Your element isn’t just about how you write — it’s how you approach the fire.
It’s your natural rhythm.
Your creative reflex.
Your rewrite magic.
So don’t fight it.
Learn it.
Work with it.
Let it shape how you show up in the forge — especially on the days the fire feels too strong… or too quiet.

Because the fire doesn’t ask you to be someone else.
It just asks you to stay.
