What's That Genre Mean?
Every item asks you to pick a genre, but there are so many! How can you tell one from the other?



This is an ongoing topic. If you are interested in the other genres covered previously, you can check out the following links:


This is the last installment of the Genre series. I'm sad to see it go! It was a long process this year, but I believe that there's some pretty valuable information packed into these newsletters and I encourage you to use them as a guide.

War - With Veteran's Day coming very soon, I'm expecting to see an increase in War stories on the site. Oftentimes, the approach of a holiday will inspire people to write, which is fascinating and awesome at the same time. This genre can be paired with Tribute, or perhaps even Biographical, or Personal.

Western - Bonanza! There's some awesome western writers out there - we all think of gunslingers, wooden sidewalks, parasols, hoop skirts, bonnets, and gun fights. It's a fascinating genre.

Women's - This genre has such a large number of items. There could be stories, articles, poems - so many ways to approach this genre.

Writing - I was very naughty about this one when I first joined the website. I noticed that things that had the "writing" genre were featured on the front page, and so I told myself that if I was writing it... certainly it fell under this genre! ... but I knew it really didn't.

The Writing genre should contain articles about writing, thoughts about writing, or other such things.

Writing.com - This genre should only be used if the item has something to do with WdC. It could be a personal opinion about WdC, of course! But it should pertain to the actual website in some manner.

Young Adult - This one is rather - well, to me, I happen to like Young Adult a lot. Young Adult is generally a genre aimed toward the pre-teen and teenager age group. It is faster paced, shorter sentences than those aimed at adults, and it can range from very dark to very light. I quite like the genre, personally, though I am no longer considered "young adult".
