Every month the IWSG announces a question that members can answer
with advice, insight, a personal experience, or a story in their IWSG posts.
if they aren't sure what to write about on IWSG Day.
Remember the question is optional.
This month's featured question is:
This month's featured question is:
What genre would be the worst one for you to tackle and why?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy September, Everyone!
I hope that you have all had a happy and healthy August.
Regarding this month's question, writing romance is the worse one for me to tackle.
I have avoided writing romance throughout my life,
largely because of things that happened to me in my past.
I feel stripped naked and vulnerable even thinking about writing it.
I do enjoy reading a good romance story, although I often choose other genres to read,
like science fiction, fantasy, memoir, and nonfiction.
I am almost finished reading the IWSG's latest anthology,
First Love: The Art of Making Doughnuts, which was released yesterday.
I have an early copy because I preordered it ages ago.
I absolutely love this anthology!
I was surprised by the variety of stories about the sweetness of first love,
and I appreciated the quality of the writing and the strong voices in the individual stories.
I'm learning more about writing by reading them.
We have so many talented writers in the IWSG!
August was a challenging month for Terry and me, but things are much better now!
I'm excited because I have been approved for a series of infusions
that should significantly help my double vision.
That's good, because my eyesight has been deteriorating
as I decrease the steroids that improved my vision.
Next week Terry and I are going to Yellowstone National Park for three days.
I don't care if I see two Old Faithfuls instead of one.
I'm thrilled to get away!
Happy writing in September!
Till next time ~
