This will be the second last IWSG (Insecure Writers
Support Group) post of 2016. Whoosh! The year has hurtled past, leaving barely
two months in which I’ve scramble around finishing my writing and reading
goals.
I sometimes wonder how did Ninja Captain Alex J Cavanaugh (author of the Amazon
Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars), start
this amazing online group for writers.
IWSG members post on the first Wednesday of every
month. In our posts we discuss our writing insecurities, anxieties, worries and
learn from other writers who are at different stages of their publishing
journey. There is a wealth of information on the IWSG website.
I
love the idea of IWSG members answering a question in their blog post. This has
made it so easy for me (as well as many others) as I sometimes run out of topics
to blog about. Now all that I’ve to do is to answer the question for the month
and my post is ready.
November 2nd
Question: What is your favourite aspect of being a writer?
My favourite aspect of being a writer is being able to
live my fantasies through my stories. Many times my characters do the things
that I’m unable to do, they visit the places I’ll never be able to visit. And I
also like the idea that I’m entertaining readers through my words.
I’m eager to read what is your favourite aspect of
being a writer?
I love that aspect of being a writer too.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's great to live out our stories in our minds.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this is the second to last IWSG post of 2016! Where has the year gone?!
ReplyDeleteWhile I am not a creative writer, I am a fellow blogger who like you is always glad to stumble upon an idea for a blog, I like your answer to the question but now I wonder what kinds of things your characters do that you can't or don't or won't.
ReplyDeleteMy characters definitely do things I can't. Or won't. I might enjoy writing about space, but I don't want to go there.
ReplyDeleteWe started five years ago based on a casual comment...
That is a very good reason. Most of my characters love to exercise and eat healthy- definitely fantasy on my part :)
ReplyDeleteSince most of my fiction has a love story to it, I enjoy being able to feel that rush of new love all over again.
ReplyDeleteLove those aspects, too. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. The question/answer thing is epic. You know, as soon as October 1st hits, the year is over. Every year it's faster. How does that happen?
ReplyDeleteI'm truly glad you enjoy the IWSG questions. :)
ReplyDeleteYES! There's so many things I wish I could do. Writing them into my stories is so much fun. Even the more fanciful stories...I still like to pretend I'm the MC. ;)
High five Rachna! same as yours to live fantasies in writing
ReplyDeleteBeing creative and making up stuff is such an excellent way to live life :) And as a writer, I also love to read other people's work. Great post, Rachna! I'm loving the questions too.
ReplyDeleteLove that answer!
ReplyDeleteNice answer! I just like letting my imagination take me new places. :)
ReplyDeleteHaving the IWSG questions is nice when your brain just isn't coming up w/a good topic. =)
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head! I write MG stories I wish that I was able to experience in my early tweens/teenage years. That alone drives me to come up with some awesome adventures!
ReplyDeleteI love being able to share stories with fellow readers and writers:) It doesn't get better than that:)
