I have issues with Identity

Expect the look of my blog to change again soon. It seems that when I finish making changes I think it looks pretty nifty, but then give it a while and I don’t think it fits me so well anymore. I’d like to think it’s because I like change, and being creative and what not, but I think it’s really because I had yet to really determine my “brand.”

When I first started writing, it was fantasy stuff. When Heart Pulled to Pieces came along it was all new and I thought it would be a one off. Then An Altered Ending came along, and it goes from there. Suddenly I’m not sure what I’m writing (genre wise) and figured I’d leave it up to others to figure it out. What I’ve learned while self publishing my 3rd book is that “Contemporary Romance”, while is a fitting spot, is not really the best fit. I write Chick Lit.

Saying it reminds me of gum, and I know that when others hear the term the can think of fluffy guilty pleasures, but it is more than sugary goodness for the brain. Okay, well, maybe not my work, but there are a lot of great Chick Lit books out there and I think I sit nicely with them.

So, after coming to terms with the genre I write, it’s time to start looking like a Chick Lit writer… site wise anyway. It’s a good thing that there aren’t that many super thin writers of women’s fiction out there because I don’t see myself losing 40 pounds any time soon.
