Who do you think you are? :P<br><br>And you sound like me. It took me forever to realize I just couldn't write when I was on the "I want to get trad published" train. I had no motivation. I couldn't bring myself to do it. It was like soul death or something. Then when I decided to self-publish suddenly I was free, the creative side of me opened up again and I could write again.<br><br>There is something amazingly liberating in the thought: "This will be released to readers when it's ready"<br><br>instead of: "In several years this MIGHT be released to readers if I'm deemed marketable enough and am willing to make my books more "accessible."Zoe Wintershttp://www.zoewinters.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621437024515761909.post-3870314569586731602010-03-31T05:23:08.856-07:002010-03-31T05:23:08.856-07:00I'm calling copyright on Soul Death - that sou...I'm calling copyright on Soul Death - that sounds like an awesome book title.<br><br>:)<br><br>Ha, yes, I keep trying to write in traditional genres and then end up with something new or different or weird. <br><br>Baa baa - I just don't get the lets be a sheep thing. It's like you with your sex scenes. Romance should be about love, slowly building over time. And if the sex doesn't happen this book or doesn't happen graphically on the page, so what? <br><br>In fact, you'll probably find you have more male readers if you have less graphic sex scenes. Guys feel uncomfy reading things like that, especially when a woman wrote them.<br><br>Sexist as Hell, but that's life. <br><br>And it's cool that you're being true to yourself and not contorting to fit the perceived needs of a genre.<br><br>I sometimes read supernatural romance, and wish it was more supernatural and less romance.
