Does your favorite genre of film correspond with the genre you write in?<\/h3>\n

I can’t answer this question, because I don’t have a favorite genre of film.<\/h4>\n

If I had to pick one, it would be sci-fi. I enjoyed the Star Wars and Star Trek films. Even the Marvel films I’ve watched entertained me. (But I haven’t seen all of them.) Sci-Fi is also one of my favorite genres of books.<\/p>\n

But as I’ve mentioned before, sci-fi is a genre I’ve never attempted to write. I don’t feel confident enough in my writing skills to make the attempt. Shoot, I felt like I was pushing it when I placed The Rise of Jake Hennessey twenty years in the future.<\/p>\n

My favorite genre to write?<\/h4>\n

Mysteries. I love creating a puzzle that needs to be solved, and then writing all kinds of red herrings to throw the reader off. I may not even know the answer to the mystery until I get close to the end of the story. (Yes, I am a pantser. I don’t have my book plotted out before I start writing.)<\/p>\n

But I can’t tell you the last movie I watched that was a mystery. There are plenty of TV shows that are mysteries, but movies? Maybe on streaming services, but in theatres? They may exist, but I don’t see any ads or hear any ‘buzz’ for them. (I’ve got mad skills for ignoring advertising, and I don’t watch TV.)<\/p>\n

I also write urban fantasy\/paranormal.<\/h4>\n

And I’ve never seen the Twilight movies. (Or read the books.) Same goes for The Hunger Games. I’ve read numerous other urban fantasy books, but the genre crosses into sci-fi, so that makes sense.<\/p>\n

Let’s find out what genres of film the other authors on this hop claim as their favorite, by following the links below. (Most links will show up on Monday.)<\/p>\n

As always, until next time, please stay safe.<\/p>\n
