Words of Wisdom

Today's Words of Wisdom come from Charlaine Harris of the "True Blood" series. Taken from the most recent Writer's Digest Magazine:

"Should an author write in a genre because it's booming?

"I think it's a mistake," Harris says, "You have to really love what you're writing about to write a really good book, and I think if you just arbitrarily say, 'Well, zombies are really hot, I'm gonna write a zombie book,' that its just not gonna turn out as well as if you just suddenly thought, Oh my God! I've got a great zombie idea."

Another aspect she stresses in the article is fun.
