IWSG Question: What do you love about the genre you write in most often?
If someone had asked me this question a few years
ago I would have gone into a lengthy tirade about how great
sci-fi/dystopia is. But as I sit here trying to formulate a plan for my
publishing career this year, I realise that my growing
WIP list now includes quite a lot of urban fantasy, contemporary YA
romance and most recently some adult paranormal romance. Usually when
I’m done writing a novel in one series I’ll jump straight into editing
or writing the next book in another series. So
right now it’s hard for me to pin down what genre I write in most
often.
I find myself wondering what genre I write in most often, too, these days. Gotta write some books for the markets that actually have a large number of readers, but you can't compromise on some things, like strong heroines and plain old good story telling.
ReplyDeleteThose elements can appear in any genre, which is probably why you've spread out to write more.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to read one of your contemporary romances. I can’t wrap my head around it but I bet they’re amazing cause there won’t be any of that stupid instalove.
ReplyDeleteHaha you know me too well. There's not even that much romance in them. It's mostly plot.
DeleteThe hybrid author is on the rise! Such an exciting time to be a writer!

I write a lot of children’s non fiction when there’s a market for it. I love it because there is the excuse to learn something new every time. Of course, I enjoy doing research and as I recall, Lan, you once said you didn’t! ;)
