Genre


After getting my little baby girl to sleep I think now is the perfect time to write a few things down. Well, thinking it's time to explore new options. Thus, the big word for the day is GENRE. Genre is class or category of artistic endeavor having a particular form, content, technique. Basically the category in which you would put your writing, in this case romance. To further categories you can say inspirational, historical, paranormal etc. So deciding to change genres can be a tricky business, but what is life without a few new risks? Who knows, you could be missing your niche because of fear. I don't think a person should give up on one genre to just get a sale in another, but instead to maybe try having one or more areas that you write. With the market for romance continuing to change, the write has to be able to continually change. So with that being said here are a few sites that have popped up on my radar to help with the genre or sub-genre issue:
