But that does mean I've got an awful lot of unplaceable stories that I really love to read.Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-30701437157656392062011-11-11T14:17:14.838+00:002011-11-11T14:17:14.838+00:00Some say that we shouldn't have to think/worry...Some say that we shouldn't have to think/worry about which genre we're writing in. We should just write from within and then worry about the market afterwards. That's great until you try and get published. Good luck with your contemporary romantic fiction ms.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-39149320590934903182011-11-10T14:41:09.680+00:002011-11-10T14:41:09.680+00:00Hi Teresa, I think it's been a very long time ...Hi Teresa, I think it's been a very long time since novels fitted neatly into genres. When you look into the sub-genres, they're all overlapping and mearging. It would be so refreshing to not have these tags at all - just an A-Z bookshop and lots of happy readers!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-74204950269487747432011-11-09T22:32:15.566+00:002011-11-09T22:32:15.566+00:00Oh, I know all about the 'niche'. I'm ...Oh, I know all about the 'niche'. I'm so worried The Wedding Favour doesn't really fit. It's not Mills and Boon enough - too long for a start. It's definitely contemporary romance, but is it really contemporary romance? I think it's a bit simple lol! <br /><br />Good luck! I hope that you have success with your submission.Teresa F Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368928238008888457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-88827917580474686192011-11-09T12:53:45.528+00:002011-11-09T12:53:45.528+00:00I don't fit at all.

But if you squint and turn the lights off and really try very hard, you can usually find some romance in my stories (if the characters stay alive long enough!)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-37892506624050806792011-11-09T01:27:55.851+00:002011-11-09T01:27:55.851+00:00I think it's great that you can write what you...I think it's great that you can write what you and and have found your niche! It's very odd that we feel we have to fit neatly in to a box when we should just be able to let our pens (or keyboards) flow freely, but it's the way the market is sometimes isn't it. And congratulations on the positive feedback!Rebecca Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194524230109997420noreply@blogger.com
