Thank you for this. Some wise, 'on the nose' words. Sometimes we need it spelled out.

I'm trying to break in as a screenwriter.

The only hope I have is praying hard and learning the craft.

I will get that agent one day!!

Funny. I’d not considered this before, but you’re quite right. IMHO. Someone looked at me askance the other day when I said I enjoyed ‘murder mystery’ type stories. Should I have said I am a Jane Austen aficionado? 😉.

I definitely agree about likelihood to pick up a book being very dependent on the category it falls into (especially having worked in a library where we produced displays, put on events and ran masses of stats on books issues based purely on the categories they fall into).

I'm desperate to read Crosswords Ends in Violence (5) now...
