Is there more interest in short stories or less. This article is encouraging. Really like the comment about not fitting into a certain genre. Sometimes stories could fit into many genres. Gives us all hope.

I know I only have a limited amount of time. While I love hearing about new things, I have to fit it into a limited window. You’re blog is one of the ways I get access to new trends. Thanks!

I have 2 voting-age kids. One is the opposite party of her parents and the other is an Independent (no pun intended). Each, I think, is more interested in making a statement, than the actual politics. Perfect example of individualism.

But it’s still difficult to pigeonhole many books using the current classification system. Some authors suggest that their peers know in advance the specific genre of their book before they begin to write; however, that squeezes a novel into a tiny box that doesn’t allow a writer full freedom of expression.

My point? Amazon and counterparts need to expand codes to include emerging microtrends.

As someone who never quite fit in with the trends, the rise of individualism is thrilling. As a writer, it is exciting to now I have a real chance to find my audience. Thanks!
