I read this article over on PageTrotter and started wondering: what "genre" do I prefer to write in?
It's not such an easy answer. I write whatever genre it is that pops into my head. I've written sci-fi, and fantasy, and horror, and just regular fiction. In my regular life I've written some dry, boring, instructional stuff. I've written some poetry, and I've written a very little amount of historical fiction.
I always figured every writer is like this, but maybe not. Am I weird? I just follow inspiration, because inspiration must be heeded, no matter where it takes you. So if I get this burning idea for a YA sci-fi novel, that's what I'll write. If instead it's an idea for a contemporary fantasy, then I'll write that.
