You guys still around? I hope so! Let’s go into...
GenreWhat’s your main genre? ... Fantasy.
Why do you write in that genre?
Because I do not believe that I could do justice to a strictly realistic world, and it allows for a lot of flexibility in creating a world. I enjoy "realistic" fiction when I'm writing with others, but am just not comfortable writing it when I control all of the characters.
Do you have a tip to share for someone wanting to break into that genre?
Don't be afraid to experiment, and as long as you take the time to world build and explain why things work the way they do, anything can happen. Your character wants to walk on water? Ok, did you want that as a special ability, or a normal thing? ;)
What genre would you like to break into?
I'm not sure, really- I'm quite happy here. There's just so many options.
Bonus: What is your favorite book written in your genre? (Written by you or another great writer!)
... There are many favorite books of mine that fall into the fantasy category. How about a top ten list? No? Okay, fine. Top Three.
The Lord of the Rings by J. R.R. Tolkein
Inda by Sherwood Smith
The Magic of Recluse by L.E Modesitt Jr.
