I've replied to everyone's posts now, but there are still a few that I'm 'mulling over' and I'll get to those soon. It takes a little while to think about what I can say with regards to everyone's posts and letting the posts marinate in the back of my mind helps.
If you want to think about the next task while I'm catching you up, that would be great.
As ever, please say why you're using the tag in your post because we seem to be making headway with visibility on the platform and the more people we get interested in it, the better. We can all help each other - one hand washes the other.
I'd like to know what kind of writing you're interested in - both for reading and then for writing. What would get you sitting at your computer for hours - even into the dead of night - to finish writing?
For me:
I personally enjoy an eclectic mix of writing. From biographies to biology, fact, fiction and fantasy, history, heraldry and horror. My personal bookshelves are filled with novels and story collections and with scientific studies (The Knife Man is a personal favourite, but it fell to pieces because I've read it and leafed through it so much).
Trev (my husband) bought me an early edition copy of Through The Looking-Glass (And What Alice Found There) with the original illustrations for our wedding anniversary last year. I daren't pick it up!
I love reading and if the right book has me in its thrall, I can stay up 'til the early hours with it.
The same goes for my writing. If the right story comes along, hours can pass without me realising. I get lost, absorbed into my stories and I'm a willing captive.
Dusty has come to visit for the moment and she is telling me her 8th adventure. I'm excited to continue with her adventures because she has lots of quirks and foibles that make her a fascinating character to work with. Plus, I adore her world!
Zack is another one of my characters that has lots to say right now. I'm following him in his new business - as owner and manager of a new, high-class security firm. He and his brother have put everything into their new partnership and it's all going great! They are certainly 'Golden boys' right now.
I write mainly fiction and I don't like to think of myself as 'pigeonholed' - I like to mix it up a bit (as you can probably tell from my 'Fact or Fiction?' series. I mix plenty of real experiences in to make the stories more realistic.
When I write pure fiction, I like the fantasy and horror genres. My mind runs a little dark and I do like exploring those places.
I'm waiting for Red, Ash and Celtica to pipe up with their stories. I'm sure they won't be long when they see how much attention Zack and Dusty are getting.
I have to say, discovering Steemit.com has changed my life.
