Trends come and go, and if you try to write something just because it's "trendy", you risk wasting time creating the story that touches you and will ultimately touch your writers.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671871950908006851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304115664290271465.post-48331026416180759882012-07-11T02:32:29.074-04:002012-07-11T02:32:29.074-04:00Great post!

Nearly everything I write has both in them--sometimes primarily fantasy with touch of romance, sometimes romance with a touch of fantasy. It's nice to know there are others of us who like to play with genre that way. And I do LOVE a fight scene--I just like mine with swords.

(Too busy writing!)<br /><br />Derek, at 1st I wasn't going to see Legacy BECAUSE there's no Jason and because I think they ended the trilogy perfectly. BUT I saw previews of Legacy when I went to other movies and now I think I will see it.<br /><br />Lizzie & George, thanks for stopping by and commenting!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671871950908006851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304115664290271465.post-36047447588890329752012-07-10T11:08:33.002-04:002012-07-10T11:08:33.002-04:00Alexa

I think you're right about the cons...Hi Alexa,<br /><br />I think you're right about the constraints of genre boundaries, but fortunately there's a growing trend to blur the borders. It's also a great way of appealing to previously separate lists of readers. In the end, it comes down to living, breathing characters we can invest in emotionally. So, will you be watching the fourth Bourne movie that doesn't include Jason?DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803989273524731892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304115664290271465.post-52896304932617884422012-07-10T01:09:06.445-04:002012-07-10T01:09:06.445-04:00Great post!!

Would rather see the A-Team or Indiana Jones anytime. Must admit, I haven't seen the Bourne movies, though I read the books years ago. Will have to check them out.

To me, the hallmark of a really good romantic suspense is that perfect balance between the romance and the suspense so you don't feel shorted on either. As you pointed out, it's not always the same mix for every story. <br /><br />Can't wait for your next release!Irene Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121931758202412714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304115664290271465.post-32463243834288475902012-07-09T13:16:42.987-04:002012-07-09T13:16:42.987-04:00Ugh.
