Chucking the norm is good for us every once in awhile.<br /><br />Bish -- I have no intention of giving up the Regencies, I'm just sick of writing them for the time being. I just want to give this detective thing a shot and see what happens.<br /><br />Susan -- I think we need two or more different genres to write in to keep ideas flowing. Besides, I miss writing contractions.<br /><br />Shelley -- I'm glad you're still writing. And writing for fun is even better.<br /><br />Donna -- Writing full time is not all that it's cracked up to be. Even with being self-published, I still have deadlines I try to keep. Some days, honestly, I'd rather have a job. At least I know what my paycheck would be on a regular basis.<br /><br />Laurel -- And that is the BEST part about being indie. I can do whatever I want to do.<br /><br />Karen -- I don't necessarily write for sales, I write to get the story out of my head. The characters drive me crazy if I don't. However, if the story happens to bring in sales, I won't say no. <br />Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-3400291905672352152015-06-16T18:08:55.974-04:002015-06-16T18:08:55.974-04:00I don't think I ever had a chosen genre.

I think burnout happens when writers force a story, despite what people say must be done to get sales. I hate writing for sales. I just don't do it.

I write when I feel like it. But, its more of a hobby for me, I know I have to find a JOB soon or go crazy. If I had a steady income though, and did not have to got to a day job, I'd love to write for a living. I think I'd still write the same way though; picking the specific publication I want to write a story for, meeting their deadline. I'd have more time to work on my novels though, and I'd love that. Novels do take so much more work.<br /><br />Work doesn't have to be work, though; as you discovered. Creativity should be fun. If you have a solid reader base, you can take your time getting out the next book. And some series readers like to collect all books in a series and read them in a binge. I've done that lots of times. So ya see, you can please both reader types :)dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-89623887583432890782015-06-15T14:45:23.474-04:002015-06-15T14:45:23.474-04:00Wow, perfect timing.

I'm glad I read your post today, because I'm going through something similar. <br /><br />While I'm still working on my next book in my usual genre (MG), I've also started writing something completely different for fun. And I just said to my husband the other day, "I don't want to just stop working." He responded, "You're still working. You're writing." So I took that as a green light to add a new, fun project to my pile. <br /><br />Enjoy writing for fun, Anne!

I like them both and for different reasons.
