The amount of physical energy it takes to constantly hop from one place to another is almost overwhelming.
BUT, I have managed to get some research done on the new character. Well new to book 1.
When you’re writing in a specific genre and there are a plethora of authors/books already, how do you differentiate your lexicon from that which is already mainstream and accepted.
There is a blank-ton of paranormal/urban fantasy books out there…. I want to be unique without readers scratching their heads and putting the book down because it doesn’t conform to what they already know or believe to be true.
I know that stories sometimes get around that with the disclaimer “contrary to popular belief” type comments.
Do you stop reading the genre you’re writing in or do you pounce on everything you can get your hands on?
Curious minds want to know…
Cheers!
