What kind of fictional book should I write?

Hi, can you help me determine what sort of fictional book I should write? I don't want to have to revise the plot and the setting all the time, so I guess it shouldn't have these in it. Any suggestions? Write what you know is the advice most often given to new writers. You must devote time to discovering the idea which appeals uniquely to you. You are solely responsible for what you write, and I think that you can not truly write fiction unless you can conceive and plot your prospective novel yourself. If you are a reader, you must have a genre which is your favorite, and you may want to write that type of book. Just be certain that you are writing with originality and not simply reproducing another author's concepts. Good luck! Thanks for the Best Answer! Good luck with your writing! Write a book with the kind of genre (type) that you like to read. If you like to read mystery books, then write a mystery story. If you like romance, then write a romance story. If you like fantasy books, then write fantasy stories. If you write a book on a genre you don't like, you'll probably lost interest and give up (it's like telling a fantasy writer to write a nonfictional book).
  • Write the kind of fictional book that you would enjoy reading. If you're a murder mystery fan, write that. If you love Christian fiction, write that.
