Hey Jill, I don’t think we stay the same and what we like to write can vary. I really think it depends, like you say, where you are in your life. I’ve always liked angst and twenty years later, I’m still writing it. Also, light-hearted and sweet doesn’t mean the issues you write about can’t be serious. I reckon it’s all in how you write them.

And you’re so right about how to figure it out. Write more! I spent a fruitless five years trying to aim for a light, flirty line at M&B and failing because I wanted serious but I couldn’t seem to fit it with the light and flirty promise. I manage to pull it off in my Entangled books but I have to be honest, it’s still a struggle. I think dark and gritty is where my natural voice lies.

Awww, thanks Christy! And yeah, the books are pretty hot. Hehe. 😉

Cheers, m’dear! And a double amen from over here! 🙂

I bow down to those who can write angst. If you love it, embrace it!
