When you're not writing in competitions/challenges, what genre do you create in?

I'm curious! Tell me about your current work in progress (WIP) ❤️

Mostly short comedy, or long sci-fi. But a lot of comedy. I just can't keep my mouth shut with friends on FB.

I'm mostly a speculative writer - which is why around here I'm likely to mash things up. My spy is a 3/4 siren. My thriller is set in a cyberpunk dystopia. My romance is with the angel of death. My comedy is making a deal with a demon. LOL

That being said, though I mostly publish fantasy, scifi, and horror, I've also pubbed litfic, histfic, noir, even CNF. 

I'm currently pulling together a collection for release this October - ghost, monsters, and other things that go bump in the night. ╰(o﹏o)╯

I mostly write literary realism, some horror and essays. I used to write a blog for a company, and I found that stripped away a lot of my creative juices. I started joining these competitions to get that flexibility back.

My current, or more accurately, my off and on WIP progress is more memoir that will never see the light of day. It might develop some characters, though.

I have SciFi novel due to be published on 1st Sept.

GENEFIRE
A near future SciFi novel crossing space and time. In a world where genetic engineering is becoming the norm, even the simplest mistakes can be devastating.


Will def let you all know about it when it is available.

I'm a ghostwriter by day and that can be wearing content. It varies from current events, to political, to health and wellness, to mothering but all in the voice of whoever I'm creating for. 

So, I love writing for myself to use my own voice. 

I write books for my kids (ages 12, 10, and 8) and I'm currently writing on a few rom coms that I bounce between. I think I prefer the light content since my writing jobs are a little heavier.

Very cool, Lynda! I'd love to read it when you're published.

Also working on a YA, but a mystery.

Nothing, real life is hectic and I need the comp pressure to get anything done. The idea for a larger goal is starting to form lately, but I think once I start writing I’d stop comps
