What I Like to Write, What I Don't Like

Suspense

I know that Writing.com refer to this genre as Triller/Suspense. But I consider them separate genres. A Thriller to me is more like Action/Adventures, maybe even Mystery, than Suspense. To me, Suspense is a lot like Drama. It can be a part of almost any story.

True, I haven't written any stories in pure Suspense yet. But I have written several with Suspense as a subgenre. I do plan on writing some this year. And this year I'm going to separate my writing between Science Fiction and non-Science Fiction stories. The Science Fiction will be itemized in my primary account and the non-Science Fiction ones I will be putting in this account.

What I like the most about Suspense stories is the sudden shock that happens. Not a horror shock, but a sudden twist in the story. Sometimes that twist is life threatening and sometimes it's a sudden knock at the door or opening that door to see who is behind it. Suspense can be may things. That's why I like it so much.
