INSECURE WRITER'S SUPPORT GROUP

October 2 Question:
It's been said that the benefits of becoming a writer who does not read is that all your ideas are new and original. Everything you do is an extension of yourself, instead of a mixture of you and another author. On the other hand, how can you expect other people to want your writing, if you don't enjoy reading? 

I believe creativity is a response to everything around you--your interactions with people, the books you read, the places your visit, and the list goes on and on. There are no new or original ideas, just variations of them by using your creativity. Reading is a must for those who practice their craft. As a journalist before becoming a fiction author, I learned a lot from reading other's works and seeing how form, voice, and presentation matters in the written world. Many English teachers will agree that reading makes a better writer. Don't we all want to be the best writers possible?
  


September 4 question - If you could pick one place in the world to sit and write your next story, where would it be and why? 

I would pick Lund, Sweden, where I lived for a year. It was a quaint old town with brick streets and perfect for a cozy mystery with a little romance.

    Welcome to the IWSG. I'm sure you'll meet lots of helpful people here.

    Sweden sounds nice, but it might be too cold for me most of the time.

    Appreciate your book titles, they sound so hopeful and upbeat. I’d love to write in some idyllic place, but given my circumstances, I shall enjoy the daydreams 🌹

    Sweden sounds intriguing, but I think I would have to forego the winters. :)

    Your choice destination sounds absolutely lovely and perfect for writing. Maybe one day you'll get the opportunity to return and test it out!

    With Love,
    Mandy

    Thought I'd stop by some of the newer members on the IWSG Wednesday to say hi. Glad you've joined and hope you get your wish to write in that town one of these days.
