It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget! Especially when we’re thinking about trends, markets, or what we should be writing. . .
I was just reading a military romance (a genre I didn’t expect to love!) and I’m completely hooked. The cover was what got me first along with seeing it all over BookTok. It reminded me how powerful it is when an author clearly enjoys the story they’re telling. That enthusiasm shows up on the page.
When you write a book you’d personally want to curl up with and read, it tends to be more fun to write and more compelling for readers too.
✍️ I’m curious: Are you writing the kinds of books you love to read? And have you ever surprised yourself by falling in love with a genre you didn’t expect?
