Mystery Gothic Romance Chick-Lit
This week I'm reading all over the place. So far I've read How to Write a Mystery by Larry Beinhart and now I'm into On Writing Romance by Leigh Michaels. Both seem really good with solid information and not a bunch of pimping out of their own books. They have of course led me even deeper into my research reading. I'm picking up old Steven King, re-reading Rebecca and Wuthering Heights, and I've even discovered Joyce Carol Oates. How is it that I've never stumbled upon her before? I'm also going back to re-read The Wizard of Oz. Is it too much research? Am I procrastinating? Maybe, but all of these books are fueling my ideas and my story. There is much to be said for reading all over the place. Everybook I read will make me a better writer. There are so many amazing stories out there that it is hard to find one that I don't want to read. I'm trying to find a really good modern gothic fairy tale. I'm picky, but I've found a few. This is my genre. Although is there such a thing as a mystery gothic romance chick-lit?
