Creating 52 storylines for 52 books

When I was 4, I decided the only thing I wanted to be was a writer. I loved the beauty and power of an imagination that could create whole worlds. But I never understood why writers just stuck to one type of story. The beauty of storytelling to me was always the characters — it didn’t matter if it was 20,000 leagues under the sea or set in space, or if there was someone who had a murder to solve or a romance to find.

As soon as I knew what the word “genre” meant, I knew I wouldn’t be boxed in by it. So part of my goal with writing 52 books next year is to tackle as many genres as I can reasonably handle.

Now, there aren’t 52 genres if you just go by the big ones, such as “literary” and “science fiction,” etc. But if you tackle the sub-genres, you can definitely get up to 52. Along with ideas for a few series, here’s what I’ve come up with:

Science Fiction — Soft Sci-Fi Science Fiction — Space Opera Science Fantasy (2 books) Science Fiction — Alternate History (2 books) Science Fiction — Apocalyptic Science Fiction — Steampunk Science Fiction — Androids, Robots & AI Historical Fiction Mystery — Cozy Mystery — Noir Mystery — Caper (2-book series) Romance — Contemporary (3-book series) Romance — Historical Romance — Western Romance — Comedy (3-book series) Romance — Fantasy (2-book series) Romance — Thriller Romance — Paranormal Fantasy — Epic Fantasy — Historical Fantasy — Superhero Fantasy — Urban Fantasy — Bangsian/surreal (2 books) Fantasy — Fairy Tale Fantasy — Sword & Sorcery Fantasy — Dragon Thriller Horror — Monster Horror — Comedy Horror — Supernatural Horror — Zombie/Survival Horror — Psychological YA/Coming of age (2 books) Literary Humor Action/Adventure Women’s Magical Realism Western Dystopian Short story collection (2 books)
