I've been sitting in a fit of depression all day pondering my writing (the typical self-doubt B.S.), and i wondered why i haven't been able to come up with very many ideas for the types of stories i want to write. I love the holy trinity of fiction equally (Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction), and I want to write stories in the various sub-genres.
I was looking up new books (even though my depression was telling that reading more stories hasn't been helping) and i saw this book Informacracy by Malka Older. I haven't read it, but it's sorted under Cyberpunk and I love the genre. I wish to write Cyberpunk ( Depression: You were born too late for that crap, dumbass). I glanced at her profile blurb and saw the various creditals that shows she lived an eventful life ( Depression: Enjoying that isolation there, useless?), and then a question dawned on me:
How did she find her niche?
How did she come to what subjects she wanted to write that gave her the most fruitful and plentiful ideas? Then i thought, I should ask the scribe community what their opinions and advice are on finding a niche.
So that's why i posted this.
