If you wrote to fit a slot, someone would still tell you it wasn't "x' enough or there's too much "y". Just write from your heart and you can't go wrong.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123599839884840143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-39085170686820910352009-05-02T23:54:00.000-04:002009-05-02T23:54:00.000-04:00Jessie - Amen to that!

And why not write both? BTW, I think that I would rather read a book from a Christian who didn't think they were perfect than a Christian who thought they did it all right. There is no such thing as a perfect Christian because we are all human, and that is why we need Christ in the first place.Jessie Oliveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232456334069794107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-3939623148257014222009-04-30T11:37:00.000-04:002009-04-30T11:37:00.000-04:00Me neither.

Oh boy, ...Me neither.<br /><br />I know!<br /><br />Exactly, me too. <br /><br />Oh boy, don't I know it. (although I didn't get enough response to even know that much...)<br /><br />Yeah - like, am I really a good representative? what makes me the expert here?<br /><br />So true and I think about that a lot.<br /><br />I've been thinking about that too- what's my calling? I ain't seeing a burning bush either.

Maybe what I'm hoping is to avoid being like your author friend: getting a few books under my belt and then wishing I could do something else. I want to find a niche and feel good about being there.<br /><br />Of course, I can't settle on a blog template, so who am I to think I could pick a genre I'd like for my whole career?? :)Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-42846439337508868122009-04-30T01:13:00.000-04:002009-04-30T01:13:00.000-04:00I've struggled with this, which seems crazy becaus...I've struggled with this, which seems crazy because I'm not published but I like reading different genres so I'd like to write in different genres.<br /><br />My author friend told me you really need to pick a market because agents want writers who want a career. She's written four adult books but would love to write YA.<br /><br />It's hard to know what to do. Just trust you'll know.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.com
