Hello writerly friends. The year is half over already! Yikes. I want to thank the founder of IWSG, Alex J. Cavanaugh and all the admins who make this group the best place to share and work through your insecurities. Find the entire list here.
This month's optional question:
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?
Excellent question. I really, really intend to dabble in poetry. I have a book and so many scraps of paper. But it never seems like I have to time to really put my mind to it. I will. Someday, I will.
My writing time now is all going toward the second draft of my current WIP. The name of the series and the books revealed themselves also. Not sure about the series name.
I've been good on my exercising. 10,000 steps on most days except when it rains, which unfortunately, is pretty often. I don't mind the heat dome, but rain keeps me inside.

I'm also promoting the Chocolatetown Bookfest coming in October. It's the first year I've managed to secure a spot. Registration opens and fills up within two hours. It's crazy.
I'm also busy planning the 2026 Pennwriters Annual Conference. We're extremely excited to have Chuck Wendig and Maria V. Snyder as our keynotes. We'll be in Lancaster, PA, next May. This month, we'll be settling the menu and collecting workshop proposals.
I enjoyed Dept Q on Netflix. The Accountant 2 was okay. Lots of funny stuff mixed in with the brutality. The Old Guard do is coming soon. I hope it's as good as the first one.
What genre do you want to try out? Are you okay in the summer heat? If it's summer where you are, that is. Anything entertaining you on the small or big screen?

Some great guests for next year.
Fortunately, our house layout gives me a circle I can walk in when it's too hot or raining.
I don't think I have the right chops for poetry. Envious of those who can do it well.
I enjoyed Dept Q. too. It's great that you can write poetry. It's not for me, but I admire poets.
I really liked Accountant 2. Had to watch the first one before so I could remember what happened.
Ten thousand steps a day is good.
I'm looking forward to reading your poetry when you're ready to share it!
And I am so impressed by all you do with planning conferences and all the things you do for the writing community.
BTW - I also enjoyed Dept. Q. I hope they have a season 2. My hubs and I are working are way through Blindspot - new to us, old to the world, and it has fun moments.
I love poetry. Do I ever read it in collections? No. Should I? Probably. Because I love it. LOL!
Good luck with that second draft!
Have Dept Q on the To Watch list. We've been enjoying The Waterfront, also on Netflix.
