It’s time for another IWSG
(Insecure Writers Support Group) post. IWSG is an online community of writers who
post on the first Wednesday of the month. Our posts hover around our writing-related
issues. Writers from all over the world who are
at different stages of their writing journeys encourage and support us with
their suggestions and advice.
Ninja
Captain Alex J Cavanaugh (author
of the Amazon Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the
Stars) started this wonderful group.
In a
short span of time, under Superhero
Alex’s leadership, IWSG has become a force to reckon with. The IWSG newsletter
keeps the members updated, the IWSG website is full of information on writing
and publishing, IWSG has also published several anthologies and has hosted two Twitter
pitch contests.
Our awesome co-hosts for the February 7th
posting of IWSG are Stephen Tremp, Pat Garcia, Angela Woolridge, Victoria Marie Lees and Madeline Mora -Summonte
February 7 question – What do you love
about the genre you write in most often?
As I write Middle Grade Fantasy, I love
the fact that I can do extensive world building. I love creating a make-believe
world and putting a whole lot of magical creatures and places in it. For my
first MG book, I had gone berserk, I had created many magical
creatures who lived in that place, even the food that the characters ate was intrinsic to that place
and had come about after extensive thought and planning. Perhaps that is the
reason I love the genre of fantasy so much, as it gives me the freedom to go
wild.
I look forward to reading all your posts and seeing
what you all love the most about the genres you write in.
