Just a reminder: There will be no Friday blog posts for the next few months while I’m on my sabbatical.
So I am now back on The Merry Writer Podcast and today Rachel and I tackle the question:
“Should authors stick to one genre or write multiple genres?”

I certainly feel that authors should try different genres in order to challenge themselves, and avoid, as you say, stifling creativity. That would be like typecasting.
I’ve started 7 novels and each is as different from the last. Please note I said ‘started’, Ari. The one I’m working on is the longest so far: 35,000 words but I became stuck. Then I took notice of Raymond Chandler and introduced someone with a gun…well, that helped.
The day i finish a novel (if ever), then I’d probably follow that with one in the same genre.
Great podcast.
Take care.
