Quote

Like most writers, I read deeply into the genre in which I write.

Genre might certainly increase some of your narrative freedoms, but it also diminishes others. That's the nature of genre.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.

I'm completely indifferent to what genre I read provided that I feel sympathy with how a writer perceives being alive in the world.

I like the idea of trying to write a book in every genre.

At the end of the day, I'm writing in a genre that isn't highly regarded.

I've never really been a genre fan. I never grew up reading comic books or was a horror buff.

Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.

If I love the character, then that's all that matters to me. It doesn't really matter what genre it is.

I don't have a favorite genre. I love to work and live vicariously through every character. It's all about trying to bring the character to life and get the story across in a way that resonates with the audience. It's always interesting and challenging in a gratifying and unique way.
