While I don’t avoid this genre, the one I’m least confident in is erotica. I don’t think I’m all that great at writing sex scenes. I think I’m better at all the non-sex related stuff. Still, I give it a red hot go none the less.

I think that’s when we really find out exactly where our writing level is at, when we push ourselves outside of our comfort zones. Staying in your comfort zone is safe but I personally think your writing can stagnate if you do that. Writing for different genres forces you to think differently, approach things in a way that you wouldn’t have before. My biggest Achilles Heel is coming up with plots that I’m happy with. I find it very, very difficult, which is frustrating. I’m glad you enjoyed my story. And you should definitely have a go at writing horror one day. It’ll be good experience if nothing else.

I don’t restrict myself to any genre, nor do I deliberately avoid any. I only normally write original fiction though. I do like to challenge myself and push into different areas. I’ve only lightly dabbled in sci fi once so I’d like to do that again one day (sending unwanted plot ideas my way will be appreciated ), but my favourite genres are horror and fantasy. I’m open to any genre though.

This is an interesting youtube video about Australia, called “Why is there no crisis in Australia?” done by a British guy. Interesting and informative. It only goes for 11 minutes.

The funny thing is, I didn’t realise Australia is doing as well as it is. I guess I just took it all for granted.

It’s easy enough to do. There were periods in our history when we were doing well, and I think we all took it for granted, and expected it to continue forever. We forgot we needed to do our part, and that didn’t include being greedy and shortsighted. What I found interesting is that Australia seems to be far more proactive in anticipating future needs of the people, whereas we have become reactive and resentful.
Eh, when we implode, the daft one will have his Irish passport (hello, EU!) and we can feck off to a happier retirement.

Ireland sounds pretty a pretty good option. And who knew our boring politicians actually knew what they were doing? Certainly not me, that’s for sure. lol
