Ten Things I'll Never Write

In keeping with my negativity theme of late, I decided to make up a list of things I don't write, won't write, and at this minute think I'd never write. Granted, if you asked me two years ago if I'd ever write romance, I would have shouted, "Hell no!" so clearly my declarations aren't worth the screen they're written on.

Still, I needed content and this is what I came up with.

So here we go!

1. Young Adult

I don't know if I thought like a young adult when I actually was a young adult, and I certainly can't get back in the mindset now. Or perhaps "don't want to" is a better term. Heck, adolescence was bad enough the first time around.

2. Contemporary Romance

Contemporary romance is not my thing. If I were to branch out from paranormal romance, I'd more likely land in urban fantasy than in another sect of the romance genre.

3. Inspirational

Ick. I have nothing against religious folks, but people talking about God too much creeps me out. Oddly, I find religious beliefs more private than peoples' sex lives. So much so that I wish our politicians would stop sharing their religion with me all the time. I'd rather hear about their latest blow job.

4. Historical

Too much research.

5. Amish

Too much research

6. BDSM

OK, I'm not 100% sure about this one, but probably not. My reasoning is thus: I like my romance-novel sex to be fantastical. BDSM isn't fantastical– I could actually go out and do it if I wanted. Clearly, I'm not that motivated, since I haven't gotten around to it– y'know in between tweeting and writing smut and all.

7. Poetry

I promise you, my readers, I'll never attempt to publish a book of poetry. Unless it's naught limericks. Or song lyrics set to the tune of Copabana.

8. Mysteries

I can't stand mysteries, have no interest in them. I particularly dislike them if there are police involved. But then again I'm not a fan of CSI or those other crime drama shows.

9. Gardening

I lurve reading gardening books, but could never imagine writing one. They're sure pretty though!

10. Sweet Romance

I can't write love without sex and I can't write sex without love. To me, the two are irrevocably interconnected.

What about you? Won't don't you write? What could you never even consider?
