Genre Specialization

[GonnaBeFamous]

When the wonderful day comes that I can submit work to an Agent or Producer, will it look strange that I'm specializing in comedy and horror. Strangely I seem to be just as good at both of those(how good they are is another story, just I seem to have about equal skill). It's sorta an antithesis, like specialzing in old western movies and modern urban dramas.

You might consider a pen name at some point. Nora Roberts and JD Robb, Anne Rice and RN Rouquillere, and a few others...Some writers find it's better to use a different name for genres that are so varied as yours!

I like to spark emotion in stories. I like horror and certain comedies because they spark emotions to the extremes. I enjoy drama's I actually had 3 very basic ideas that i was thinking of doing in the future, but thank good I never wrote any, I just learned there is ZERO spec markt for a regular plain drama. Drama's are reserved for hollwood writers and independants who create their own stuff.

Horror is certainly a way to spark emotion! You need two persona's though.

Interesting you say that because I noticed alot of hollowood films have comedy or people in happy moods as icers between the horror. That's probably whyI have no problem strugglingwith the happy and bad switching because I can do comedy already and the horror is easy to do if your creative.

True, even the blackest horror has to have moments of levity or it would be too much. Good observation.
