For better or for worse, I write in multiple genres from paranormal romance, to contemporary romance and then on a completely different angle children’s fantasy (as Lily Rose). Why do I do this?
The answer is simple; I love writing and I enjoy having the flexibility to switch between the genres
I have been writing stories since primary school and writing in different genres comes naturally to me. I couldn’t stop this this approach if I wanted to. I love the variety of writing in multiple genres. It matches what I read, which is everything and anything. So, it’s not surprising I write so broadly.
The approach to writing paranormal romance is very different to children’s fantasy, no surprise there, but what this does it helps to keep the process enjoyable and interesting for me. There are times when I want to write more adult stories, that’s where my mindset is at. After writing a story, especially a novel length, which could have been dark, contained fight scenes, steamy romance, I’m looking to have a break.
By changing to something like writing a middle grade story, gives my brain a break. I write a story that still is in the realm of fantasy which I love, but also at the same time it is fun, and I can let my imagination play. This helps to fill my creative well, keeps me enthusiastic about what I’m writing.
Variety is the spice of life, and my writing life is enriched by having multiple genres to let my imagination run wild in.
