It's Insecure Writer's Support Group Day! If you'd like to join this monthly event, go HERE to sign up.
Many thanks to our host Alex Cavanaugh, and this month's co- hosts, for their time and efforts to make sure every one is included and receives a visit with kind words and encouragement: Kim Lajevardi, Cathrina Constantine, Natalie Aguirre, Olga Godim, Michelle Wallace, and Louise - Fundy Blue!
This month's optional question is: What genre would be the worst one for you to tackle and why?
Suspense/Thriller would be the hardest for me. I find it hard enough to put my characters in danger as it is, and any gore or murder happens "off stage" in my books. I write "gentle" murders. Nothing like real life at all, LOL.
My biggest problem is that I'm a fixer. You got a problem? Let me help you fix it. I want people to be well and safe and not sad or stressed. Even in books I can't bring myself to make things too hard, and when I do put the pressure on, I fix it as well. Haha! Crazy, isn't it?

(P.S. If you visited me last month and I didn't return the visit, I apologize. I'm a bit scattered right now. I had Covid, and then Covid Rebound so was basically sick for a month--so annoying!).
UGH! Covid!! So sorry you were sick for a month. I hope you're on the mend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathrina. I guess I needed the rest. LOL.
DeleteSorry you had it double-time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't like to pile on too many problems either...
You could write cozies, Alex!
DeleteThanks for your kind remarks, Gwen. And I do hope you are soon fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteOf course and always. Thanks for visiting :)
DeleteI was a bit of a fixer when I started writing fiction. I didn't like people in too much peril or strife.
