Every other Thursday here at the Broke & The Bookish is A Cocktail & Conversation time. We'll pose a question to 2-3 members of TB&TB crew about books, life, music, etc and then they'll answer and we can converse about it. So grab a cocktail & cozy up for some conversation. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, friends.
Question: NaNoWrMo is coming to an end! If you could write a book, what genre do you think you would write in? Are any of you actually writing?
Jamie says: I've always said I was just a reader but lately I keep having two stories swirl in my head. I don't know what I'll do with them -- if anything -- but this has never happened before. I don't REALLY think I have what it takes to write a book but I can't deny how strongly these stories are. One is a contemporary YA book and the other is more a YA science fiction-y type of book. Who knows if I'll write them but those are what I'd write!
Lori says: I think if I ever wrote a novel, I would want it to be classified as literary fiction. I typically read the classics, which you don't just write. Books eventually become classics after people decide they're the classics. So, my best chance would be to write literary fiction that has a debt to the classics I've read and favorite authors of mine. Hopefully my second novel would be a bit more original and would eventually make it to classics status. I dream. :-(
