I think that it's ok to give simple answers, but if you want to achieve writing longer replies, and it doesn't come naturally, maybe this could help?
don't think that it's "too much" to write or that your thought is "unnecessary". It's your profile, your post and the prompt that you want to answer! So go wild - write down your "train of thoughts" even if they might not fit the prompt. I personally love how my answers "evolve" - I start by following the prompt, and then I somehow end up describing something else. And that's ok, just like in convesations: you start talking to a person about how the night sky is beautiful and the converstation moves of to debating wether aliens exist [hello! they exist, but shh... ;]
think. a lot! For example, if you think "I am questioning my identity", later think of why are you questioning it. Maybe it's shifts? The feeling of being nonhuman? Animalistic urges? Species dysphoria? Something else? Write everything down, as I said, it's never too much - it's not a school essay haha :]
Read! You don't have to read long ahh books, or old-fahioned poerty [mmm poetry], unless you enjoy it. I encourage you to read even more posts on here and analyse them. What expressions do the athors use? Maybe some interesting phrases that link the sentences? English is not my first language, and it was about 60% the internet which taught me speaking/writing it! If not reading other's posts, I wouldn't speak English this well [for a Polish person hehe]!
See how this comment got so long? It's because I wrote everything down which I want to tell you! Practice writing here or on your own, and over time you'll achieve your dream writing style :]
I have a little paper journal, but I don't upload it regularly. I personally never push myself to write something when I have no motivation and will, but that's just because when I force myself to do something, it never is good in the end. Instead of forcing myself to write, I look for motivation and - what comes with it - inspiration - first. I look through the internet, find others who talk/write about their experiences and then there's a chance that I think to myself: "hmm... why don't I write on the same topic but about me?". Other than that, I find journaling promts somewhere, like on Tumblr. I have a different "sense" of journaling that many folks, that's what I've noticed, so my advice can be useless to you haha :] But here, I'll share some of prompts and topics from my journal:
An "experience analysis". That could be a shift, some behavior that you had. Was it positive, negative, neutral? How did it exactly feel? What do you think triggered it?
A wishlist tied to your identity - it could be realistic or not. You can include objects, abilities, appearance traits, like dream body mods, ect.
Find ask games on Tumblr and answer them. Literally. There's tons of these question games, I recommend looking through them and see what could be fun or encourages you to think about your identity more deeply.
'sketch out' your _type - you can literally draw your "final form" ( ;] ), some parts of it, like body parts, daydream-drawings [so eg. where do you dream to live, who/what to live with]
Just any drawings that give you euphoria! Objects, beings, places, symbols, everything realted to you!🫵
I'm really glad that some of you decided to comment :] I'm also happy that I found a place where I can actually be heard. I love sharing about my identity, as well as making little prompts and questions. So my posts will be a mix of these. Also, I might post art and poetry! Have a nice day, to the beings reading this.
