Your Writing Isn’t For Everyone
This is as true for me as it is for you.
What genres of books do you read? Let’s start with the big picture, fiction versus nonfiction. If you’re anything like me, you read several different types of both. In my case, my nonfiction choices are pretty diverse. Mindfulness, wealth management, psychology, physics, philosophy, self-improvement, and more are in my libraries (digital and physical).
When it comes to fiction, depending on the source you choose to get your data from, there are anywhere from dozens to more than 160 genres and subgenres of fiction out there. Even sci-fi breaks down into subgenres like sci-fantasy, hard sci-fi, space opera, humorous sci-fi, cyberpunk, and more. Fantasy breaks down into urban fantasy, epic fantasy, swords and sorcery, and more.
There are lots of books in numerous genres out there for you to read. However, some genres are not for you. They’re not for everyone. That’s not to say any are better or worse, they’re just not for you.
This is also important to recognize when it comes to your writing, art, or other creative endeavors. Whatever you create cannot and will not be for everyone. This is not, however, a bad thing, no matter the narrative to the contrary.
