My October IWSG Post and the Characteristics of my Favourite Genre

 

From the past two months I don’t know why I’m getting the urge to do NaNoWriMo this year. Hope I can do it. I have a story in mind, I want to plot it out this month and then come November, I would love to take the leap into NaNo. Cross your fingers for me.

It’s time for IWSG (Insecure Writers Support Group Post). IWSG an online writers group was started by Alex J Cavanaugh, the author of Amazon Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars. Do visit the IWSG website for some informative and amazing posts.

The awesome co-hosts for the October 5 posting of the IWSG are Tonja Drecker, Victoria Marie Lees, Mary Aalgaard and Sandra Cox!

October 5 question - What do you consider the best characteristics of your favorite genre?

I love writing fantasy and the best characteristics of fantasy are giving a free rein to my imagination, though it requires heavy-duty world building. Writing fantasy gives wings to my creativity and makes me soar high into a make-believe world where I have created each and every aspect, from the characters to the objects they use, the situations they get into, the creatures they meet and the food they eat.

What are the best characteristics of your favourite genre?

  4. I love fantasy for that reason too. Though I don't like to write descriptions, so all the world building can be challenging.

  5. I can relate to fantasy with my House Witches series. Lots of room to let the characters play. It's totally fun!
