IWSG July - Are you married to your genre?

  This is my   Insecure Writers Support Group   post for July 2025. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month  are:  Rebecca Douglass, Natalie Aguirre,   Cathrina Constantine, and Louise Barbour! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 July 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? I have a dystopian on the back burner that's still in the plotting stage. I remained frustrated for years that I didn't have time to work on it, but now I'm glad I put it off. Living through a pandemic has lent me valuable perspective . As far as genres I haven't tried at all, mysteries are tempting. But I'm not sure if it's the genre itself that draws me or simple curiosity over learning the trick behind crafting a whodunit plot. In any case, I eventually want to write more books for my other pen name, and that dystopian would be a great fit. Wishing everyone a fun, safe 4th! ❤❤❤❤❤...
