Today we talk - very briefly - about genre misconceptions!
When talking about writing there are so many things that people think they know or understand about the process when really, they couldnt be further from the truth. There are those who dont watch or read Game of Thrones, because they 'don't do that dragon stuff'. Or those who wont read Harry Potter because its secular etc. there are a ton of misconceptions about genres that people could try to be educated about.
What is the most profitable literary genre and why, if its so benign does it make over a billion dollars a year?

Support System
It can be difficult to remain positive in the writing space. Whether its the constant appearance of positive querying stories when you just cant quite get there, or people struggling with their own creativity and mental health. Writing and creating takes a lot of of us and this episode touches on some of the musings ive had about support.
Supporting others is a big part of the the writing community as we rely so much on each other to get out there and show the world our work. Have a listen to this episode and let me know what you think about my musings on the subject.
Make sure to pop into the DMs if you want to have a chat about anything as I know it can be a very disheartening time for a lot of people.
Please like, comment, share, subscribe etc. on all socials and let me know your thoughts!
