What genres do you write? I mostly write crime fiction. I also dabble in comedy/horror and science fiction.
I love hard-boiled authors like Ellroy and Richard Stark/Donald Westlake, but also other like Murakami, and Bret Easton Ellis, Craig Clevenger. And Chuck Palahniuk is my hero. He even published a story of mine!
Been at it like Henry Hill saidm, for as long as I can remember.
I am all about beta reading. I came here looking for help beta reading my novel. But I am all about the exchange.
I run marathons. I love stand up comedy. Movies are my favorite of all things. Though most are garbage these days of course,

Hello and welcome!
What are some of your favorite movies? (My best friend is a movie connoisseur and I grew up watching everything alongside her).

Welcome! Maybe I'll be able to see one of your screenplays sometime. I've written a few and use to review them on Triggerstreet. I'm focused on novels now, but screenplays are always enjoyable.

Hey there, Adam, and welcome! It's not every day, it seems, that folks get to meet an actual genuine screenwriter over the Internet, even in places like Absolute Write. :hi:

As for me, I like both crime fiction & sci-fi(Star Trek & Star Wars, anyone?), but my favorite genre for a long time now has actually been counter-factual(or alternate) history and it's the main one I've been writing in for a while now(though I've been thinking about writing some fanfiction, too, more recently).
