It's the first Wednesday in July, so it's time for the Insecure Writers Support Group.
The awesome co-hosts for the July 2 posting of the IWSG are Rebecca Douglass, Natalie Aguirre, Cathrina Constantine, and Louise Barbour!
Is there a genre you haven't tried writing in yet that you really want to try? If so, do you plan on trying it?
To be honest, I think I have tried writing across most genres at one time or another. I do daily flash fiction challenges using prompts and often the prompt includes a genre (for example, this week I had to write fan fiction for one prompt and sci-fi for another), so I've experimented a lot across genres. Often these prompts are quite challenging for me because I'm not a huge fantasy or sci-fi reader, so when I have to write in those genres, it's a stretch.
But, that's really what doing these daily flash fiction challenges are for. To both keep my writing muscles limber when I don't have time to dive into my current project, and to stretch me in directions I might not otherwise go.
I don't think I'd ever write a sci-fi or fantasy novel, but never say ever, right? An idea might grab hold of my brain and not let go. I think it's unlikely, though.
What about you? Is there a genre you've never written that you're gagging to try?
