Finding Your Niche

Finding your niche in writing is kind of like finding the right place for you. It takes a bit of searching and researching until you feel comfortable with it.

There are so many combinations of characters, plots and genres in writing that the possibilities seem endless. It would be nice to write something (or be accomplished) in so many of them, but we can only focus on so many during our lifetime. We tend to write about what we know or what we’re interested in, but at a certain point, we’d like to explore more.

It’s good to write in different genres, characters and plots to expand our knowledge and expertise. It’s the only way we can learn what we’re truly capable of, and what we are most passionate about. Finding our niche will take time, but once we find the one that suits us, we can run with it.
