The Insecure Writer's Support Group convenes the first Wednesday of the month. Participants share their worries, insecurities, triumphs, hopes, and fears.
A little bit about me;
As most of you know, I started Twisted Fairytale 3 years ago on October 10, 2013. I love writing, but I do get discouraged easily. I have really great friends, who say I'm a really good writer, and they push me to keep going with this story.
My love for writing began when I was in my first year of Middle School. Every Sunday, I would watch a TV series with my Grandmother called, Murder She Wrote, which really inspired me at a young age. I didn't really think I had it in me to possibly make up a really good story, and consider the possibility of it becoming a book.
Then, the comments started rolling in. The more feedback I get, the more excited and focused I get about writing. I love to see my readers thoughts and favorite parts of the chapters. They really encourage me to keep going. This is my very first story, which is getting close to the end on my blog. As soon as it's finished, there will not be any pictures and it will go further into detail. Sorry readers, you will just simply have to use your imagination lol.
I did in fact start this story to just pass the time, and do something fun and creative. I never expected it to take off or be as long as it is. I really have enjoyed writing it, and hope it will do even better when it's published. As of right now, I'm working on Chapter - 70 on my blog, but obviously there won't be as many chapters when the pictures are taken out.
I'm a stay at home wife/mother of 5 girls, one of which graduated high school. Where do I find the time to write you ask. Daytime is really bad for me, just simply because it's too busy, and too much is always going on that I just don't have the time. I normally find myself writing late at night when the house is sound asleep. Then there's plenty of quiet time for not just writing, but to think of plots and twists for my book. Enough about that though.
This month, the IWSG question is:
What is your favorite aspect of being a writer?
As a fictional writer, I love the fact that my mind can take me to places I have never been. Whether it be to a fictional castle, such as the human realm of Blue Haven, or maybe a vampire castle like Carolin's. I get to bring all magical characters to life on paper, and I love every minute of it. Getting to bring my world and characters to life feels great.
Thanks for reading and showing your support.

Aha yes, you can live in any setting you wish to, while you're writing. I appreciate the fact that you take time out to write while managing a family. I have been married since 2013, and have a tough time balancing my day between family and writing - let alone the job that I quit in 2015. Three cheers for you, Lisa! Keep the fire alive!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by! It's not easy trying to write when you have a family of 7. Somethings always going crazy, such as children not wanting to listen, getting sick and having to sit in the ER. Something is just always going on. Balancing between writing and family is a battle, but I've learned to work my way around it. Quiet time always helps me. I stay up late most nights writing, and my hubby gets the kids on the bus. If I didn't have his support, it would be a non-winning battle. Thanks again for stopping in :)
ReplyDeleteYour not going to stop writing are you?!, no offence to you but thank goodness i don't have kids especially 7 kids i don't know how you do it but keep it up and never give up on your dreams i hope you keep this dream alive and never stop!.
DeleteI have 5 girls, and a husband. So there are 7 of us all together. No, I'm not going to stop writing. I love to write. If I were to have to cut that out of my life, I don't know what I would do with myself :)
DeleteIt sounds like you've found a way to write along with all the other things you do. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much!
DeleteYou seem to have a great passion, a vivid imagination and a way to fulfill your writing needs as a busy mom. Well done and good luck with the creation of your book!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much hun! I'm always thinking of plots and twists to throw into the story. I have a passion for writing, and I absolutely love it!
