It seems like you're involved in different genres, how do you keep true to the genre while writing across different genres?
Caitlin Demaris McKenna
Hi Roger! It helps that I read super widely within sci-fi and fantasy, so I'm familiar with many of the hallmarks of both. I think keeping true to the genre is often a matter of focus and the kind of story I want to tell: for instance, fantasy is often oriented toward the past, so a story about forgotten histories coming to light might work best as a fantasy. A story about a new discovery could be better as sci-fi, since that genre is typically future oriented.
