Writers and Readers discussion

Just wonder what some of your favorite genres and story lines some people like. Looking to write a book and just want to see what people like. Thanks!

Gonna tackle that task this week, are ye? Or build a mile-long section of eight-lane highway instead?

Tip: try a work of haiku as your 'first' novel. You don't want to shoot your wad too soon. :D

Hi Noah,

If you want to approach writing that way, you could just look at the best seller lists and see what people are buying most. But, I think a better approach to writing a book is to write the kind of book you would enjoy reading. It will be easier and more satisfying to write to your own tastes, rather than to what you think people want to read.

Please remember your manners. Your tone in posts has been very condescending. This may not have been your intention, but I will not tolerate this flippant attitude in my group.

I know this is a bit of an old topic, but it caught my attention. That and I'm kind of new to the site, so...

Anyway, the kinds of topics that interest me the most are fantasy / mythology done with a twist. You know, something to truly make it the authors, something that hasn't been done before.

I also love erotica, of course (I'm an author of several books of it) but even then there has to be something there that makes it stand apart from the rest. Some kind of unique twist, point of view, character depth... something.

Anyway, Alexa out! ;-)
