I’ve been participating in an online discussion involving a well known fantasy writer who is exploring options for their future. What does come out of the communal discussion is that it’s most important that you write what you enjoy and enjoy what you write and then if you can share that and others are willing to pay to read what you’ve written then that’s really good icing on the top.
So forget what’s in vogue or what earns the big bucks unless you really like them.If romance is your bag, write the best romances that you can, if mystery then be the next Agatha Christie. And don’t be snobbish about different genres. They’re just different no better or worse than each other.
So write and enjoy.
