This week's question:
Are you also a writer and what genre or did you ever consider writing?
My answer:
Nope! I've never been much of a writer, which is somewhat ironic, since I now have a blog!
Every once in a while I'd be inspired to write; I would suddenly get this story idea in my head, and then I would go into a writing frenzy! I'd create a quick synopses, I'd make a bullet-point list of important plot points.....but then when I would actually try to write the darn thing, I'd lose my momentum and the inspiration simply fizzles out. I'm a good organizer, just not a good writer.
It would be so much fun to write a novel, though! Imagine seeing your story get published, and then read and appreciated by numerous readers! Being a writer would be such a fun profession! It's so unfortunate that writing actually requires talent and perseverance.
Now if I was a writer, I would probably write some thing involving the elements I like to read about: essentially, it would be a fantasy, thriller, or YA novel, and it would have characters that overcome the odds. At the very least, it would be about independent women (I'm a feminist, so of course I'd write about independent women!)

I agree that it's amusing how many bloggers say they aren't writers. I guess we all kind of are! New follower on GFC!
ReplyDeleteHere's my F&F!
Most of us have the same problem: we always get so caught up in the organization, and when we actually start to write things go downhill. Very frustrating.

My F&F
YES! It's so hard to keep that momentum after that first initial spark of creativity/imagination. That usually happens to me with dreams. I'll wake up from an awesome dream and then write the whole thing down, and the next day, It'll sound so crazy! Thanks for following my blog :) Following back.

The fizzling that you're talking about -- totally experienced that! Good luck with future writing, should it occur!

Haha! Nice! I'm usually bombarded by too many ideas! They're all clamoring in my head pretty much all the time! Trying to edit one, revise another and yet there's still like 2 other characters shouting at me to write their story! Too many voices going on in my head! ;)

Have a GREAT day!

Im totally with you! Feminism shows up in my writing,typically unintentional. I just cant do the typical heroine being the damsel and distress!

There's this writing exercise where you would write one page a day. Don't think much about grammar and typos, just write.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following! Following via GFC.
I feel you, Lisa--it's very hard to keep that momentum going, whether you're a writer or not! But it's great that you've tried to put your stories to paper!
ReplyDeleteI HATE writer's block! It is literally the worst!
Ooh urban fantasy! The genre has always sounded so cool to me, but I've never been 100% sure what it is exactly. Hopefully one day I'll read your book and be able to find out!
I would love to be published one day too! I hope one day both our dreams come true!!!
New follower!
I hope you'll check out my post (even though it's a bit late)! :)
