I didn't say this earlier, but I just wanted to say thanks to all that replied to this. I really appreciated it. I'm still playing around with the Urban Fantasy genre right now, and I am enjoying it. So, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for helping me get the idea to go ahead and move forward with trying it.
I am curious though. I know some of you said that you try a lot of different themes in your novels, even though they might still fall into the same main genre, like Romance, they fall into a different sub-genre, i,e, contemporary, historical, fantasy, steampunk, etc. I was just curious how often you use a new theme, and why? Is it because you get a little bored of what you're writing, to a certain extent, or you just want to try something new? What makes you go for it?
I'm just curious because I may consider using other themes when I do write romance besides contemporary. That's not to say I have anything against contemporary romance; I do still intend to write it, but I'm still trying to figure out who I am as a writer as well as break out of my comfort zone a bit more. I know that I won't have all of the skills necessary to write every single sub-genre/theme of Romance, but I at least want to have the idea out there I guess. I feel this way I won't always feel like I'm writing the same thing, over and over and over, you know? I know that characters(and their actions) make stories different and all. but still. Sometimes, to me, it can feel the same, not always though.
