She talked about trying to switch up her genre a bit when Chick-lit was big. So she wrote a partial for a Murder-Chick-lit kind of story which she and her critique partners loved. But her editor shot her down and told her, "No Allison, you're not funny. Stick with what you do best."

I think it's something that just naturally came out in my writing because I wrote about things I love (dogsledding mostly) So glad you've found your voice!TerryLynnJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380207155608982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-40516870071906915872009-10-26T19:24:00.222-05:002009-10-26T19:24:00.222-05:00I needed this post today, Lynnette!

Once I switched to first person POV, it came easier and sounded better, too.

Good for you!<br /><br />I am working on it. I wouldn't say I am completely comfortable yet. I was certain I would never write romance, but now I feel a thread in my current project. We'll see where this leads.Tamika:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04874834971492028558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-83066455336836512122009-10-26T17:56:53.385-05:002009-10-26T17:56:53.385-05:00I'm glad you found your voice.
