In India, everything has opened up now, though
everyone is still wearing a mask. I am hoping the pandemic is behind us. I
desperately want a return to normalcy, as I have lived under the fear of the
virus for too long.
This year my aim is to conquer my fears and explore
different possibilities. I have managed to do both (to a certain extent). I
will share the details soon.
As
it’s the first Wednesday of the month, it’s time for the Insecure Writer’s
Support Group (IWSG) post. IWSG was started by the wonderful Alex J Cavanaugh, the author of Amazon Bestsellers : CassaStar, CassaStorm,
CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars. The IWSG website is packed with writing
related posts. To read the other IWSG posts, visit the group’s page.
March 2 question - Have you ever been
conflicted about writing a story or adding a scene to a story? How did you
decide to write it or not?
The awesome co-hosts for the March 2 posting of the
IWSG are Janet Alcorn, Pat Garcia, Natalie Aguirre and Shannon Lawrence!
Yes, several times I have been
conflicted about writing a story or adding a scene to a story. Once, for one of
my middle-grade novels, I removed a scene, as I felt that school principals
(headmasters) may object to it and ban the books from their school (that would
have been disastrous for a children’s book.) After a lot of thought, I decided
to rework that particular chapter. For children’s books we authors are always
treading a fine line and trying not to cross any lines.
How about you all? How do you handle your writing
conflicts?
