Because I love to write and I love to be creative....what better genre is there to test, to have fun, to explore, to cross the boundaries of your creativity than fantasy?! I am reading Wonderbook The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction...I highly recommend it...sure I am still in the beginning of the book and have yet to read that reading fantasy is a great source of inspiration! But with that said, I am sure it will pop up tonight when I return to reading it but there are so many sources to crack open your imagination other than reading fantasy books. I am not saying reading them is not good but I do not think it gives an author who reads fantasy an edge over another author who does not.If you don't have favorites within the genre that you've read a lot of, why on earth would would you want to write fantasy?
