I have recently undertaken something different than I am used to. I kind of like what it's doing to me. (chuckle) I get a sort of high out of being challenged in new things, and this certainly falls into that criteria. What is this new "thing" that I am referring to? (Deep breath) Can you handle it? I know that you are all used to me writing children's stories, and I do intend on continueing to do so. However, I am also exploring the wierd and creepy world of writing short story thrillers!
WHAT? You may ask in complete shock. I know...I didn't think that I could commit to writing outside of my genre. It has taught me many things though. I am growing as a writer all the time. Who says I should stick to one thing? I have decided to enter a short story into a contest. I am very excited about this opportunity. Winning this contest could mean big things in store!
Interesting factoid: Roald Dahl is not only known for his amazing children's books. He is also known for writing some adult stories as well. Some that are quite spooky I may add.
So you see, by trying this new genre out, I am forcing myself out of my comfort zone. It's great! I feel so fantastic about it. My dear friends/family/supporters...I will keep you updated on this new journey of mine!
