July IWSG Post – What are your Ultimate Writing Goals?


I completely forgot that today was the first Wednesday of the month and that it was IWSG posting day. I was on my evening walk when I realized it. I rushed home and checked the IWSG website for the question of the month and here I’m typing out my post. Last month I was organized and this month completely disorganized.

IWSG (Insecure Writers Support Group) is an online community of writers, posting on the first Wednesday of every month, our posts are usually related to our writing. The IWSG website has amazing posts on writing and publishing.

The credit for creating IWSG goes to Ninja Captain Alex J Cavanaugh (author of the Amazon Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars). Alex is multi-talented, a multi-tasker, one of the kindest people I know online, he is also a fantastic musician, a great writer and a wonderful human. Thanks to Alex, IWSG has become a welcome therapy for us writers.

The July 4th IWSG Question is “What are your ultimate writing goals, and how have they changed over time (if at all)?

My ultimate writing goals are to write many, many books, across genres, and this goal has been a constant. Its another matter that I haven’t yet achieved it. But, I’m working towards it.

Looking forward to reading what all your writing goals are.
P.S. I completely forgot that we were supposed to post on 3rd July.

    You've already begun the journey with published books and crossing genres. It will all come to pass with your determination.

  6. Multi-genre is good. I am currently working on my 4th genre.

  7. Just a question Rachna. Writing multi-genres, do you use pen names for the Amazon algorithms or not?

  9. I agree with Lynda about how awesome that your goals remain the same. And that was sweet of you to rush home from your walk.

  13. Hi Rachna, I can appreciate you want to write across many genres. Me, I guess I have limited skills (but not imagination). I'll stick to speculative fiction as this is what works for me. Best wishes to you moving forward.

  15. I think it's a good goal, Rachna. Writing across more than one genre means you are always open to the ideas that come and don't have to disregard them because "it's not what I usually write." Keep at it.

  16. While I write in mostly one genre, I have put out stories in other genres and would like to continue. Good luck with your goal!
