Why I Chose 'Fantasy' As My Genre

I've experimented with many genres before. I've tried sci fi, mystery, espionage and even YA. Sometimes I do write some non-fiction too. Yet I found myself stuck reading and writing fantasy books, regardless of its subgenres.I guess what makes it appealing to me is the magical aspect of it, whereby its a total escape from reality. I can write about anything I want and almost every time it makes sense in a fantasy world.I can make a book about dragons that possess the most ancient of knowledge. I can make a book about elves and their conflict with the other treefolks. Magic, war, quests, adventure, action, drama and everything. It's limitless!I can even project myself into the story in creative ways, something that's difficult to do in other genres. When I feel happy, I can write how a character is flying through the clouds. When I feel sad, my characters would be undergoing various trials in underground tunnels. You see? I enjoy the art of expression that comes with fantasy that just unleashes my whole imagination!But Lionel, what about sci-fi? That's also limitless!Yes! Indeed that's true and let me tell you that I am as much a sci fi geek as I am the next guy! However, I have to be honest and say I haven't read enough sci fi books to let me familiarize with its style of writing. Sci fi had always been a more visual genre than it is a black and white one, in my personal experience that is.But whatever genre I write, I hope whoever's reading it will feel how I feel when I was writing it. And especially in my fantasy book series "Hymns of Evermorn", I hope I could get my messages across to all of you.With that said, I hope you all have a great day. Cheers!
