[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2418182, member: 3192"] Hi RW, You might remember me from a particular graduation reading you and others gave. I was in the audience with Diaglo. I have always thought your written work was of very high quality. Your storyhours are very readable. I'm not one in position to give good advice. Maybe this?: You will want to write about what you love because your attitude shows through either way. Perhaps genre fiction is what you love? Or perhaps you could make a list a of your favorite authors and works? This should give you an idea of the body of work you want to look back on during old age. I can't really say what's best in the end, but reading deeply and broadly can give you a better "lay of the land". My own reading preferences for fantasy are more along the lines of Wombat up above. (you're not so far out of the mainstream!) So they are less applicable to what you may have in mind. I am willing to read any fiction you want to email me. Good reads are always fun and I will give you my honest opinion as best I can. I also write a storyhour in the forums. (one I love, but is written in my own poor style. I this to be true.) Any writing tips would be great. (reader feedback is few and far between as it is ;) ) David [/QUOTE]
