I have written a fiction screen play loosely based on one chapter resulting in a thriller/horror/crime drama called Cheaters, Sinners and Saints that I will try to push this summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-12151802505500613182012-04-04T14:33:41.752-04:002012-04-04T14:33:41.752-04:00Hope you find something that sparks your immaginat...Hope you find something that sparks your immagination!Martina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-50785790996444618202012-04-04T14:33:12.589-04:002012-04-04T14:33:12.589-04:00OOOOOH.

The thing that I ...I agree with you wholeheartedly. The thing that I hate about trends is that they are truly, in my opinion at least, horrible for the industry. While every editor and publishing house is desperate for a XXX or a YYY to meet the trend, the books aren't necessarily going to be quality and long-lived. That's where I hope the distinction will ultimately lie between self-pub and traditional publishing. With self-pub, readers dying for vampires and zombies, or whatever, can go and download as many of them as they want right away. I would hope that traditionally published books would start leaning toward those with a longer shelf-life. Pipedream, right? :DMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-83475554520236832152012-04-03T13:41:35.583-04:002012-04-03T13:41:35.583-04:00Hope the list inspires something magical!Hope the list inspires something magical!Martina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-75168992812172855802012-04-03T13:40:57.002-04:002012-04-03T13:40:57.002-04:00My pleasure.

And the difference is the writer brings their own personal context to the story, which creates a different reading experience. I agree that it's an exciting time right now with all this borrowing from different genres -- but I hope they are chosen and executed carefully in stories, not there just to chase another trend.Bluestockinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225973854788421827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-59224679830371097792012-04-03T11:19:21.373-04:002012-04-03T11:19:21.373-04:00It's so true that every story has been told, b...It's so true that every story has been told, but we can always add our unique ingredients to create something completely new.

But they are unique because of our own unique creative ideas. My first manuscript is a fantasy but also has a mystery too. Your suggestions are interesting to think about. How about a mystery/dystopian or a dystopian/fantasy?Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
