A novel…meme?

I’m a new blogger…we’re talking totally green here. But I just found out about “blog tag” and want to try it. I feel soooo unworthy. But I’m going to give it a go anyway. *big, nervous gulp*

A Novel Idea:

If you could write a novel about any subject, what would it be? (Just the subject–don’t give away your plot idea!)

Or, if just the thought of having to write anything gives you hives, what would you like to read about in a novel that you’ve never seen done before?

Or if you hate reading fiction (you can get counseling for that, you know), what subject might make you change your mind or try it anyway?

Now, here’s the rules–if you get tagged (or if you just want to play anyway), you should

1. Answer one of these questions on your blog,
2. Link back to whoever tagged you (or wherever you found the idea)
3. Tag 5 (or so) other bloggers.
4. Plus, check out previous responses, and if you know of a novel that pertains to the subject someone wishes they could write or would like to read about, suggest the novel to them in a comment.

One more thing–to make it fit within one of my blog categories (Women’s Voices) , women bloggers only. Sorry guys, catch you next time!

Here’s my answer:

I DO write novels, and love to read. But one subject I wish I could write about is the contemporary life of Native Americans. I see so many historicals with tribal people as characters, but I don’t see very many that show their lives today. I’d like to see their contributions to our current society celebrated and recorded in our literature. I’m sure such novels exist, but I’d like to see some make it big as a commercial bestseller. I wish I could write it, but I’m so unconnected to that culture and tradition, I’m not sure I could do it justice. But I’d like to see them have more of a voice.

I’m Tagging…

Camy (because she’s a novelist and a great blogger, and a terrific friend)

MomRN2 (because she’s a great friend and I know she’ll play)

Gina (writer, terrific blogger, and fellow Violet Voice)

Sharon (because she’s a novelist and just got new publicity photos done, which look FABULOUS, so you all have to go tell her how great she looks in makeup!)

Cynthia (also a fellow Violet Voice and writer who has a great blog of her own)

Jill (because I can tag more than 5 people if I want to, and because she’s a WAHM, and writer, who just redid her blog and it looks terrific!)

Okay, gals…you’re IT! (Please play…purty please!) *batting my ridiculously invisible eyelashes at you*
