Deciding what sub-genre to write was very easy for me when I started because my romance reading taste is quite narrow. I might be less knowledgeable about the romance genre as a whole because of this, but hey, I’m filled with confidence about my writing because I know where my stories belong without any doubt at all. That’s a great space to be in. On blogs and loops there are often comments like “I don’t know which genre to write’ or “I love more than one genre’ or “I don’t know which niche I fall into’ ““ I’m not going to pretend to have great advice for anyone in this situation. I haven’t a clue, sorry. I’m just so pleased I don’t have this problem.

Advice from many writers suggests choosing your genre and sticking to it until you have made a considerable name for yourself. I can’t see me writing anything but sweet stories. I’d like to think they might get a little funnier but right now my characters land on the screen with the belief they don’t have much to laugh about.

Romance stories we might want to share with our mothers or grandmothers are still out there. Not all romances have become so modern they’ve left all old time values behind. There are lots of very successful sweet/traditional romance writers out there (in single title as well as category) who are making a living writing what many might see as outdated or old fashioned stories. Their continuing success tells me there remains a great demand for such stories – I intend to do my best to help fill that demand.
