This post is part of the monthly blog hop/therapy session known as the
OPTIONAL IWSG Day Question: How do major life events affect your writing? Has writing ever helped you through something?
BIG TIME!
My genre of choice used to be horror, supernatural thriller.
When I fell in love again after decades of a difficult marriage...
I wrote humorous women’s fiction...
Based on my newfound happiness.
Why humourous you ask?
Trust me...
When you’re 24 years older than the guy...
Ya gotta have a sense of humor.
When death took him after just a few years...
My writing went dark...
Not like the genre...
But rather the military definition:
Termination of communication.
My writing basically went bye-bye for several years.
Having moved here to be with "him"...
"Him" being a Mexican national.
I chose to stay in Mexico
Learning the language (some)...
Learning the ins and outs of the culture...
And I survived...
So did my creativity.
I am writing again...
Revamping an existing manuscript...
Soon to publish...
And am writing humorous women’s fiction again.
So?
What about you?
Do life events affect your writing?
Always,
Em-Musing

You were brave to remain there, but you survived and thrived. Now, keep writing that fun stuff!
I agree with Alex: Staying in Mexico alone after loss was brave. It seems, though, you found a deeper, richer life by learning the language and the culture. I'm glad your creativity returned and that you have a new novel to show for it. Best of luck with it.
That had to affect you big time. It's good to hear the humor has returned.
My step-sister moved to Mexico two years ago with her husband and they retired there. She loves it.
Hey, Brave Girl -
I like how the ebb and flow of life as you know it informs the ebb and flow of your genre - because you can genre-switch. Amazing!
Writing is a process. Writing informs and reflects life.
You are a poster child for 'the writing life' - thanks for sharing!
