Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!
The awesome co-hosts for the March 5 posting of the IWSG are Ronel Janse Van Vuuren, Pat Garcia, and Liza @ Middle Passages!
Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Remember, the question is optional!
March 5 question - If for one day you could be anyone or *thing* in the world, what would it be? Describe, tell why, and any themes, goals, or values they/it inspires in you.
How about Shakespeare for a Day? Yes. I'd like to be him. I'd choose the Bard because when he wrote those memorable lines, they were fresh and new. His use of English flowed with beautiful rhyme, and best of all, he got to wear an Elizabethan ruff. Very sophisticated and a mark of high social standing.
Now I'm off to find out who or what other members chose.

A huge "thank you" for all you've done for us at IWSG, Michelle. Best to you.
His writing has survived the centuries.
Good choice!
Oooo Shakespear! Good one!
She did a great job!
Amazing success.
I'm coming over to see what you wrote in answer to this question.
I could come up with a lot of excellent writers, but Mr. S's long-lived popularity won me over.
Going back in time would be a double plus for me. I think it would just be cool to be in a famous person in the past just to see what the times were really like. And if my host gave me some ideas about his skill sets that would be a big addition.

Except it wasn't really a great time to live for regular folks. I'd probably be a starving peasant who never got to see one of his plays.
Good choice though I wouldn't want to live during those times.
Interesting choice! I don't think I'd ever think to be someone else.
Your head would be so full of ideas and great ways to write them!
Shakespeare would be fascinating, especially when he was writing "Macbeth." Have a great day, Lee!
Hi Lee - actually I think our heads are full of ideas .. Shakespeare is certainly an interesting character - cheers Hilary
Hi,
Sorry about being late. Shakespeare! Yes, I would to be Shakespeare and sit by his side as he wrote The Taming of Shrew or Othello because I like how he enters into the emotional worlds of the main characters. Shalom shalom
