Some would call that not being real to one's author soul, or being a sellout, others would call it being business savvy. It all depends on perspective, I'd say.<br /><br />But I think everyone would agree that you should definitely write what you love and enjoy, and if Scifi is your thing, then keep at it! There are tons of Scifi fans out there, and I hope they find your stories. And I completely agree about being a part of your writing. I feel like that too about my stories. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment, and for enjoying Conduit. And getting lost in your own world is a beautiful way to express the writing process. It's the best feeling ever. :)Hope Adonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01369027103110493319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971872664376363826.post-53639399446796500742013-03-22T02:26:20.534-04:002013-03-22T02:26:20.534-04:00I admit that society does demand that their desire...I admit that society does demand that their desires be filled. So, many writers are solely popular because their books are a certain genre. Like when Stephanie Meyer wrote "Twilight" and suddenly vampires were the "thing". After that, hundreds of newer authors became popular because they started publishing vampire novels.<br /><br />However, I do not agree with society. I, myself, am sick and tired of vampire novels. And for an aspiring writer like me who enjoys writing SciFi stories, it's really hard to gain readers (I am currently publishing works on Wattpad). But, I will keep pushing forward and keep writing, because I enjoy writing my story so much that I feel as if I am apart of it. Does that sound weird?<br /><br />Anyway, my hate for vampire novels is what lead me to your story "Conduit". I had read stories where it was men vs. women before, but niether of those I read compared to the story you wove. "Conduit" is brilliant, and I hope everyday, that you get published. After all, it was "Conduit" that ultimately inspired me to take my stories seriously and just get lost in my very own world.
