How many types of things do you write?

[DivaNicoletta]

I am seriously all over the place. I am writing a histoical novel, a short comtemporary story, a play, and poetry. How many different types of writing do you do?

[britlitfantw]

Poetry, contemporary short stories, fantasy novels, contemporary novels, possibly some mystery in a bit.

[DamaNegra]

Um... poetry, short stories, fantasy, young adult, biography, mystery, horror and essays.

[DivaNicoletta]

Poetry, contemporary short stories, fantasy novels, contemporary novels, possibly some mystery in a bit.


Ohh I forgot, I write those too. What kind do you write?

[Writer2011]

Mostly Private Detective Novels...some Romance, Erotica and horror

[Sage]

Just YA fantasy w/ some teenage angst mixed in. Everything but the last one has some sci-fi too.

[triceretops]

I write primarily SF, but have written novels in the horror, fantasy, and action adventure genres. I just started a contemporary fantasy which is proving very difficult and scary.

Tri

[Tish Davidson]

I am a complete pragmatist. I write whatever I get paid to write.

[britlitfantw]

Ohh I forgot, I write those too. What kind do you write?

Sorry for being dense, but of which genre did you mean? :D And I forgot to mention that, similar to Sage, my fantasy has angst in there too -- along with some major tragedy. I'm not afraid to throw things at my characters (sometimes literally ;) ).

[blisswriter]

I write in a variety as well. Short stories, flash, poetry, erotica (short stories and poetry), chick lit... I also dabble in sci-fi and fantasy.

[Linda Adams]

Just one, Thriller. I was all over the place when I couldn't figure out what I was writing and was trying to find a place to fit in. I always gravitated to thriller elements before I found out what it was.

[scarletpeaches]

Contemporary novels and poetry. And angry letters to officialdom when people don't do their job properly.

[KTC]

I write novels, plays, poetry, articles, advertising copy, essays, etc.

[FolkloreFanatic]

Historical fiction, fantasy, thriller/suspense, horror, sci-fi, mainstream novels, YA, plays, screenplays & poetry.

[Jamesaritchie]

I don't write epic fantasy. I don't write SF these days. I've never written a stage play. I don't write erotica. Beyond this, pretty much everything is fair game.

[scribbler1382]

I've written a lot of different things over the years that I just wanted to try but didn't really intend to continue on with. I've written a teleplay, a few treatments for tv shows, YA novel proposals, poetry, comic scripts, etc. Those are the things I'm pretty sure I'll never try again. Now I mostly write horror/suspense/mystery short stories and thriller novels. I've done a little sf, but not too much. My first novel was a horror/sf cross. I'm probably going to stick with suspense/thriller stuff for the foreseeable future. Someday I'd like to write some screenplays, but not right now.

[CaitlinK18]

I write in a lot of different genres...the problem occurs when I try to jam them all into one book, vis a vis my WIP, which at last count was a contemporary-fantasy-mystery-chicklit-adventure story. For some odd reason, this seems to work, but usually it just ends up a horrible mess and I throw my computer across the room and start over.

I usually write pieces with overtones of either fantasy or mystery. I used to write exclusively SF but I got bored, I guess. I also write literary shorts (the English major in me), comic book scripts, horror and if I had the attention span to research anything I'd have a go at historical fiction. But I don't, so that genre is safe from me...for now.

Bwahaha.

[Avalon]

I used to dabble in SF, and short stories. I gave myself permission to bag the short stories and write novels, which is what I want to do. And over the course of time, the SF kind of dribbled away, and I find myself currently writing fantasy, pretty much. Or magical realism. Spec fic without the rivets. With mysteries in them. And romances. :)

[Shadow_Ferret]

Fantasy.

I used to be more varied until I realized that the only thing I'm good at, the only thing that really motivates me to write is... Fantasy.

[Novilia]

Novels: science fiction, fantasy, realistic fiction, historical fiction

Other: poetry, essays, cool little sayings, books of interesting stuff (like those coffee table books) philosophical essays, and science theories, exploration, ect.

[Novilia]

ooh, and screenplays and scripts for live theater and the occasional short story. I write songs every know and then and I plan on maybe doing some physcological thrillers too.

I don't really do romance or mystery . And can some one define horror for me a little. Would a vampire novel be considered horror or fantasy or does it all depend on whether or not guts are everywhere?

[Gabriele]

My main genre are historical fiction novels (in English).
Short stories, mostly Horror and Paranormal Erotica (in English).
LOTR fanfiction *hides* (in English and Swedish).
The occasional poem (in German, English, Swedish, and Italian).
Non fiction essays about History and Medieaval Literature (in German and English; and one in French which is a pain in the posterior ;) ).
A PhD thesis (in German). Sadly neglected, though.

[LightShadow]

Everything under the sun as long as sex and profanity isn't needed to make it work.

[zeprosnepsid]

I write screenplays; I do freelance entertainment journalism; I have one scholarly paper from college I'm trying to spruce up for publication; I used to write short stories but haven't in a while; And I have one novel in progress which is where my attention is currently centered.

My novel is YA Fantasy-Comedy, but my screenplays are in many genres.
