Hey! Long time no see! Probably because I forgot to post last month. In my defense, it was only a few days after I had just moved into my new apartment and I had a lot going on. I'm loving the new space and it's so much quieter than my old apartment, but I do still have quite a lot of crap lying around that I have to organize and find a home for, so I haven't exactly set up my dream writing space. But hey, baby steps!
I think I've used this gif before...
Anyhoo, this month's optional question for the IWSG is: 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?
I think I would like to write something in the horror genre at some point. I really enjoy horror movies, so it seems like something I would enjoy writing as well. I haven't really read all that much horror, however, probably because my love of horror movies came later in life (and I've also been in a reading slump for a few years), but I'm definitely interested in exploring the genre with reading and writing.
I've had a couple horror story ideas floating around in my head but they're not that fleshed out. They may be better as short stories than novels, but I've never felt like I'm very good at writing short stories. I think if I read more horror books then maybe I'll find some inspiration and explore some new ideas or figure out the existing ones.
In other news, hubby and I will be going to NYC in two weeks for a couple of nights. We're seeing a musical one night and hubby booked a comedy show for another, but other than that I think we're just gonna wing the trip. I like the idea of just going with the flow. I do know I want to go back to Max Brenner to get the best chocolate martini I've ever had again...no, seriously, I've been dreaming about it for two and a half years...
🤤
It's hard to squeeze writing time in when you're moving and setting up your new home. Have fun on your NYC trip with your husband.
ReplyDeleteYou were moving - no worries. Horror would be cool. Like you, I'd have to read a lot more though.
ReplyDeleteHappy housewarming! Happy fourth! And I hope you have a lot of fun on your trip. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on surviving the move!
ReplyDeleteHorror, eh? Done that. Not a huge audience, but it is fun.
Moving takes a lot out on a person.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could do horror. Paranormal is as close as I get.
A move is such a huge undertaking. After my last one, it took so long for me to get my writing space set up. Baby steps are always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your NYC trip! That martini looks amazing.
Enjoy your trip! I'm not a martini drinker but that sounds like it could make me a convert.
ReplyDeleteSetting up a new home can be both exhausting and fun. A new place to decorate! . Have fun in NYC...and that chocolate martini looks delish!!
ReplyDeleteMoving takes a lot of energy. You'll get there. Horror, eh? I'm not a fan, but there is definitely a readership out there. And that chocolate martini looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI moved three years ago. There are still boxes I never unpacked!
ReplyDeleteso happy for your new place and your big trip! i feel your moving pain. most of my fun book & craft stuff is still in boxes… hope to dive into them soon
