Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
It’s all about trying different genres today.
We are going to begin with this one sentence –
He/She/They/I walk into a room. Everything stops. Silence falls.
Starting with that one sentence, we are going to write something within four different genres.
Historical Fiction
Crime Fiction
Contemporary Fiction and/or Romance
Horror
We are going to write at least three hundred words in all four of the genres above.
Try not to think about the quality of what you’re writing. Just write and see.
Which genre did you enjoy writing the most? Which one was the hardest? Is there a piece of writing you’ve written today that you’d like to develop further? Why?

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
