10 Things I'd Like to Write When I Find the Ovaries
All writers have limitations. We have seen them when writers attempt to "branch out" and fail miserably. On the other hand, sometimes an author experiments and really finds their true calling.
Here are some genres/types I haven't written in yet, but would really like to!
1. A bodice-ripper. I have been dared to do this by several friends and GR members. (They know who they are.) It might very well happen. Because, you know, I am just that twisted.
2. A gothic novel. Because I read so many of them, it would only make sense. I need that closure. Because I'm competitive like that, and oh-so-eccentric. Rawr. CRAZY LADIES IN THE ATTIC, BURNING DOWN UR HOUSE.
3. High fantasy. Because...Iunno. Some of them are silly. I would like to see if I write one that is not silly. Knowing me, I'd probably go too far into the opposite realm...of Extremely Disturbing. ^.^; Heh.
4. Fluff. No explanation necessary.
5. Gay romance. Probably F/F, but maybe M/M. I think it would be really interesting to do that. My favorite character in Endgame was Tash, who was into the ladies. I'd like to have a character like that who was the MC. (:
6. Something like The Secret History.
7. A story written from the POV of someone with a mental health disorder. In first person. PORTRAYED AS REALISTICALLY AS POSSIBLE. DUN DUN DUN. ('Twould be a good excuse to brush up on my college textbooks.)
8. Something that could, conceivably, be called literary fiction. Because a lot of what I write is pretty trashy. (But hey - we all need a bit of trash now and then hey?)
9. Something that is pure trash. Like, V.C. Andrews. Something that is so bad people read it for the lolz.
10. A book written entirely from the POV of a dude.
What's something you've always wanted to write, but don't yet have the ovaries or the balls to attempt?

Space Operas - I would love to write a space opera, as in my own full scale, maybe 500 page thick novel with some mind bending twists and political stakes. I've written a few cyberpunk pieces, I've written time-travel thrillers, I've written in science fiction, but I really want to write a space opera that knocks people flat on their backs. Unfortunately, I think that's going to take some time to plan and probably when I'm in the right mode for doing it.
