Ramblings and I mean ramblings about reading and writing...:)

So, I do enjoy reading this blog on occasion called Pub Rants, from the point of view of an agent who has some bestselling author clients. She's very blunt and to the point about trends in publishing and what she/editors want and don't want. Anyway, I spent like 2 hours reading through the blog last night, because I hadn't really looked at it in

I had angst about my preferred genre (paranormal hijinks but particularly old-school vampires) being a glut on the market until I remembered that they were considered a burden back when I was in high school and Anne Rice was sweeping the nation. Before (and after) Anne Rice there was Stephen King. Before King there was Sheridan LeFanu and Bram Stoker etc...etc...etc...

Delight in the paranormal WILL NEVER GO AWAY so I'm going to write what I want and not sweat what 'the industry' is bleating about.

You know? You are so very right. There are ebbs and flows with everything, and right now it's at this frenzy of paranormal, which I am really enjoying, but what's the next big thing? Who knows! I'm not going to worry about it and I'm just going to contemplate writing stuff *I* want to read, screw everything else.
