I definitely want to read your stuff now, though!<br /><br />The thing that worries me the most is that, right now, it seems that romance is the driving force behind sales of LDS literature. Or do the rest of you, perhaps being closer to the source, have a different impression?Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-76459108744981561352009-06-05T21:37:56.197-06:002009-06-05T21:37:56.197-06:00I am such a new writer that I have no idea what my...I am such a new writer that I have no idea what my official genre will be. The story that I am working on right now seems to be a mixture of genres. The story that wants to be told doesn't seem to want to limit itself. But I do worry about too many loose ends. <br /><br />I just read a book that had so much going on throughout the book. Then it was sloppily tied together for the very unsatisfying ending. It got published, but I don't know how. I don't want that to be my book; the unsatisfying read. Luckily I understand that my story is not going to be done any time soon. I am just whittling away at it bit by bit, reading lots of different genres, and learning as much as I can.<br /><br />Which brings me to thanking all of you. You feed me wonderful info and support. I have started, and I cannot turn back!Evelyn Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552465212098773720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-69429400981388952442009-06-05T18:46:18.664-06:002009-06-05T18:46:18.664-06:00I love YA.

Now I'm working on YA funny suspence. My critique group loves it and it is fun to write. =)<br /><br />Good luck with your story!Carolyn V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15456210036213016603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-8233273228130523342009-06-05T15:51:18.101-06:002009-06-05T15:51:18.101-06:00I want to read your stuff now Melanie.
I have to ...I want to read your stuff now Melanie.<br /><br />I have to write action and history. I think everything I have ever done, even fan-fiction as a kid, relates about something that happened even earlier and how it affects the moment. Probably the Tolkien influence. Now with my Book of Mormon series, I still have to show back story, for all the stuff I made up that relates to the present of 321 A.D.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-46633178864375181582009-06-05T14:59:51.473-06:002009-06-05T14:59:51.473-06:00Fantasy and sci fi elements try to creep into ever...Fantasy and sci fi elements try to creep into everything I write, and so does action, usually where the hero gets the crap beaten out of him at least once in the story.<br /><br />Romance? UGH! Definitely not my strength. I don't even like reading it, except in the tiniest doses as a subplot. I'd like to write suspense, though I'm not sure how good I'd be at it. I don't think I could do comedy or humour, either, though I might be able to give my readers something to smile about every so often. If I were to play to my strengths, I'd be writing space opera, I guess.Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.com
