Then after a few years, you may settle on a genre that you feel most comfortable with, or maybe not. Either way is fine and I don't think you should feel stressed about it. Just keep writing what you want! :) Elise Fallsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734537117333738468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752239080098245376.post-66681483562081769922013-05-03T17:50:05.802-05:002013-05-03T17:50:05.802-05:00I too had the same problem of trying to nail my ge...I too had the same problem of trying to nail my genre.<br /><br />Womens fiction? Nope, too much graphic sex.<br /><br />Romance? Nope, too much mindless sex.<br /><br />Erotica? Nope, too much plot to go with the graphic sex.<br /><br />I eventually settled on a made up genre called "quirky fiction". It accurately describes what I write (sexual tension, sexual heat and everthing else G. B.

Besides, who says you can't have a gazillion pen names for each of your genres? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700737187405826842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752239080098245376.post-83750227120488528412013-05-01T23:53:42.878-05:002013-05-01T23:53:42.878-05:00Yeah, sometimes it's like that.

I think some writers are trying to find their comfort writing. Being a writer also means experimenting. You're just fine, but I do wish you good luck!

I like to write in a variety of styles. I have manuscripts in fantasy, literary, romance, YA urban fantasy, and poetry. I just don't see the sense in limiting myself to one thing when I'm interested in writing in others.M.J.
