Since I inadvertently answered this month's question last month, I decided to ask myself something else.
What genre would you write if your current one disappeared tomorrow?
I read a lot of genres and prefer there's a romantic subplot when it's not a romance (mine usually have adventure, mystery, or suspense). But I've also written a Victorian time-travel series (utilizing fae magic but downplaying the magic). I've also written a YA/NA portal fantasy that has magic. I've also begun what will be a midlife women's fiction fantasy trilogy. Oh, and I've got over 50k words in a scifi that I may someday finish.
But I've been reading a lot of urban fantasy lately and loving it. I think it would be a hoot to write in that genre.
How about you? What genre(s) would you like to try out?

Fantasy is always a cool genre. I read a lot of it but I've never attempted to write it.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of funny because I used to be a bit of a SciFi snob. I looked down on fantasy. Then a kid named Harry changed that. lol
DeleteFantasies are very popular. The time-travel idea sounds very interesting too.
ReplyDeleteThe time travel was so fun to write--and to research!
DeleteI write urban fantasy but would love to try a mystery.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun question replacement! I'm looking at swinging over into mystery. So far, I've just done it in short stories, but those have been successful, so I want to write an amateur sleuth series. (I usually write horror, though I also write urban fantasy--which was already a switch from horror--nonfiction, SF, memoir, and fantasy. I love to explore writing.
