It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The question for today: 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’ve written non-fiction instructional, non-fiction inspirational, paranormal romance, and new adult.
While I can’t think of another fiction genre I’d want to tackle, I might be interested in a cookbook. Specifically charcuterie boards! (Are you surprised?) I think the biggest challenge with that would be creating the boards and taking professional photos of each one. My photos are fine for snapshots, but I’d have to redo each board and set it up with my lights and big camera. Lots of work.
(Good time to show off one of my latest.)
A language book also is a possibility. Estoy aprendiendo español. (I am learning Spanish.) And in going through dozens upon dozens of simple Spanish books, the ones I really like have pictures. It would be fun to create an extensive book with pictures, the word in English and Spanish, and the pronunciation. (In fact, my Spanish instructor suggested it.) I’d just have to convince my artist husband to draw all the images. LOL!
And in case you missed it - I also posted about stoking creativity through other creative outlets at the IWSG site a couple weeks ago.
What genre would you try?
