Authors...I think that the genre doesn't matter. Authors should just worry about writing a story, that's all. When I had idea for a new writing project, I don't care if it fits in science fiction, contemporary or otherwise. The most important thing is the idea, the story and the message I want to convey. After this it will be exactly, it matters little to me, but more often it's still my favorite genre: near supernatural and contemporary. And if one day, an idea comes to me and doesn't include paranormal, contemporary fair, I write anyway because it doesn't matter, this is the story that has.<br />Other authors should do the same. So readers'll do not find themselves overwhelmed by the "literary mode".Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332284760352280529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-62908267929688329112014-01-24T09:47:39.156-08:002014-01-24T09:47:39.156-08:00Switching genres can be refreshing, I think.
