Nanowrimo has started! And like the mad woman I am, I’ve written around 3718 words. Am aiming to get at least 9k by Thursday as I know I won’t have time to write over the weekend. Will most likely be on a road trip then and so yours truly will be Internetless AND most likely lappie-less. Family takes precedence for this particular trip.

And now, on with the meme!
What’s your favorite genre to write? To read?
As most people know, I love writing fantasy and it’s various children. I’ve dabbled a bit in science fiction universes, and a bit in erotica, but I’ve always liked writing in fantasy because I like the idea of using magic, and the various shortcuts it allows you. I’ve yet to make the price of magic fit the effort needed to make it work, but that should be remedied in this Nanowrimo.

As for to read, it really depends on my mood. Sometimes it may be realistic fiction, other times fantasy… really depends on what I feel like dipping my feet into at that particular moment in time.
