And writing, for me, is about satisfying that creative itch. Most trends, like vampires, have come and gone before I even realize there is a trend. :DPatricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-23619002482526822372020-09-15T19:25:43.180-06:002020-09-15T19:25:43.180-06:00Good to see you back here, Arlee.

But I haven't been writing either other than blog posts.

I never buy a book based on genre. A good read for me has only to be compelling, be well written, and make me think. Some other criteria also apply, but these three are on the top of the list. Great post, Elle. :-)Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056682992943171805noreply@blogger.com
