My friend and fellow writer Ari and her friend Lorraine have created the fun writers tag as she says: “Being a writer can be a lonely business. So we thought we’d create the Writers Tag to get the ball rolling and in a fun way, introduce each other to all the wonderful writers who blog.”
Ari was kind enough to tag me into this and so here I am passing on the tag magic.Before we start the Writers Tag, here is a little work to put in:
☆ Post the Tag and Image on your blog (see above).
☆ Thank whoever nominated you and give a link back to their blog.
☆ Mention the creators of the tag and link back to their blogs.
☆ Nominate 6+ deserving bloggers and notify your nominees by commenting on their
blogs.
This Writers Tag was created by Lorraine Ambers and Ari Meghlen. Click on the highlighted names to check out their blogs and don’t forget to leave a comment to tell them that you’ve played the fun Writers Tag so they can connect with you too.
So let’s get started with this fun, quick-fire Writers Tag and get to know each other a little better.
Questions for the Writers Tag (and my answers)
- Name one novel that inspired you to write.
I think many novels have inspired me, and each one I read helps me grow in some way as a writer. 2001 was a big inspiration for me, but since then have been many more. Most notably the Martian.
- What’s your favourite genre to write and read?
The major genre I read and write is Scifi but I also have a bit of a taste for fantasy too.
- Do you prefer to write stand-alone or series?
I’m not sure yet, I haven’t written enough.
- Use 3 words to describe yourself
Geeky, thinker, imaginative.
- Reveal your WIP aesthetics or an image that represents your MC or setting.
- How long did your first MS take to draft?
The clock is still ticking…
- Who is your author idol?
Arthur C Clarke. His imagination and inspiration was amazing.
- Share a writing memory that made you determined to carry on.
I can’t actually think of one….
- Tell us something surprising or unique about yourself.
I don’t know.. Am I unique?
- Share the hardest part about being a writer and how you overcame it.
Finding time and headspace to write really is challenging for me.
- What’s your favourite social media and why? Share your link.
Twitter is my favourite social media platform, it’s so easy to find and engage with writers and other creative people of similar interests.
- Share some uplifting wisdom in six words or less.
Keep going, don’t stop!
I nominate the following deserving writers:

Let me make sure I understand it: we start a story and then pass it along to others to add to?

I can’t think of one right now, we just start the story off and let it out into the writing world.
What do you think? Any ideas?

I remember you doing those stories before and someone would “tag” you to finish, and then you passed it along. Q and A’s can be fun too, but I like the idea of throwing stories to the world! Okay, I will start writing and then i’ll send it to you! If you think of something, then you can send it along also 🙂

I feel so unworthy. I don’t know what WIP and MS stand for? Maybe MS is “manuscript” ???? YIKES. I guess I just got cut from the cool writers table, huh? 🙂

Carmen… You are in no way unworthy in my eyes. Just because you don’t know some terms doesn’t mean you can’t write cool. You’re still at the table, come and sit down. 😀
MS is manuscript and WIP is work in progress. I feel a post on writing acronyms coming on. 😉
