    So great to have you, Gwen! What genre do you like to write in?

      Hmmm… This is a question I’m struggling with a bit. Most of the writing I do is fiction, but I’d really like to get good at writing strong personal/lyric essays. I’ve always been a fiction reader, but in the last few years, I’ve read some excellent examples of what can be done in non-fiction/essay writing, and I’m intrigued!

      Oddly, I randomly realized as I was putting dishes away that you asked about genre, not fiction vs. non-fiction. So as to answer the question you actually asked, I suppose I would say I write literary fiction, but with a bit of the fantastical thrown in. I’m intrigued by magical realism and suspect I’ll spend many years trying to figure out how to write in that genre.
