I'm definitely buying copies of both of those and making them bestsellers.<br /><br />In all seriousness, though, Lydia Sharp is right. You can write about any of those things and do well, so long as your take is original enough and your story well-told. Of course, this is easier said than done.<br /><br />http://kristinlaughtin.blogspot.comKristin Laughtinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536556357622503501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-36650408923962529812010-04-13T17:06:41.906-04:002010-04-13T17:06:41.906-04:00I feel like the only failing would be not writing ...I feel like the only failing would be not writing about ALL of those.

Now I'...Lucy! You've thieved my book idea!<br /><br />Now I'll have to rely on my backup plan, which is a fiction novel (per Janet Reid's new guidelines, heh!) about super-hot vampires who battle equally super-hot zombies, all while keeping their ridiculous pompadours perfectly sexy and working through their alcoholism and the angst that goes with having a romantic relationship with Nazis.<br /><br />I call it "Undead Midlife Crises. And Zombies"<br /><br />It's the next blockbuster! Everyone will love it! Oh- and it's part of a nine-book series, too :)Kimberly Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796741685901278761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-5357511984029708912010-04-13T12:34:46.496-04:002010-04-13T12:34:46.496-04:00Lydia, you're so right!
