FYI: The IWSG monthly question can be found under the IWSG Sign-up tab on the Insecure Writer's Support Group Blog.

June 5 question: Of all the genres you read and write, which is your favorite to write in and why?

Sigh. If I could answer that question, I wouldn’t have books out in the YA Fantasy, YA Paranormal, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance, and metaphysical genres. I’m a dabbler. Though, I have decided to limit myself to Western/Western Romance. We’ll see how that goes. I do feel it's better for an author to pick one or two genres and stick with it, at least until established, instead of frog-hopping from genre to genre as yours truly has done:) What genre do you read or write?

May 2 question - It’s spring! Does this season inspire you to write more than others, or not?

Another great question.  As far as my response...who wants to write or do housework, for that matter, when Mother Nature is singing her siren song, seducing us with good weather and gardening, especially when it has been an extremely long winter? Not me.
