Writing lesson 1 - read

I've been reading almost everything in the Christian fantasy, young-adult area for the last five years. I have three boys and I read what they read. I want to know what they like to read. We pass series after series between us. One of  my stories will fit that genre perfectly.  Recently though, I've had a hankering to do something more on the horror side.  Trouble was deciding which character's POV to build. I picked up a Stephen King novel from the library for the holiday weekend - not my usual catagory, and found the path for this next book.
Lesson 1 - Read. Read from the genre you want to write, but also pick up different genres.

Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear from you.
