But I agree that eventually you'll have to get a fan base in one of them. Until then, have fun.

That's why I get a little panicky about not knowing which one to go with. But you're right. This is the perfect time to experiment and figure out what I like best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572122401159709175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-84064495810669071962012-07-16T06:56:24.122-07:002012-07-16T06:56:24.122-07:00I agree with MaryAnn.

I know I do, but I seem to prefer my fantasy/scifi ideas.<br /><br />I think this is one of the fun parts of being undiscovered. You don't have to worry about marketing or becoming a brand, just write whatever you want to write. <br /><br />But I hear from internet buzz that once you get published agents/editors like you to write the same genre to form a solid fan base. Of course if you become the next J.K. Rowling, you could probably publish your grocery shopping list and sell a million copies. :)MaryAnn Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618345950149423623noreply@blogger.com
