Some writers tend to get bored with the current genre they write. It's normal for a writer to want to dip into a new genre. It's safe to play around with it but difficult when you plan to publish your work.
Most of the time the one genre that we are comfortable with is the one we stick to the most. That could be fiction novel writing, mystery stories or poetry. Whatever it is, it's one that we are most comfortable with and have a hard time staying away from. If you are trying to dip into a different genre or different form of writing, here are a few tips.
- Do your homework and research. Research the genre or new writing form and see what others are saying about it. Go to the library and take out a book about it.
- Read other books in that genre. See how people write in the genre. See what grasps your attention as you read this new genre.
- Try practicing this new writing form before you publish or display it. Remember, practice makes perfect. So try different types of writing in that genre or form and see how it goes. Eventually you will be a master at it!
