He's just waking...and new audiences will find him and cherish him...like a good many of us do.<br><br>I urge you to reconsider and allow the development of the dark fiction writer that is Scott to remain.<br><br>If you want to play in other genres under a different name, consider this...when Picasso went through his various phases and styles... did he use another name? No...some liked it. Some didn't. For some reason, writers feel they have to change their names when they change genres. It's mental.<br><br>Be who you are...a good writer...keep the name...build the profile.<br><br>Neil J.ghostwriterpublicationshttp://ghostwriterpublications.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-19897591945293370382010-01-19T07:13:55.967-08:002010-01-19T07:13:55.967-08:00Scott,No matter what you write, I would want to re...Scott,<br><br>No matter what you write, I would want to read it because you are an amazing storyteller. While I do tend to prefer the dark and macabre, you are one of the few authors I would be willing to follow no matter what genre (except maybe harlequin romance). I also agree with the previous comment regarding pen names; I don't think you need to have one just to write a different genre. Whatever you write comes from Scott Nicholson.<br><br>Just my two cents.<br><br>-DIDark Intruderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01920498357072643664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-38552376768578729532010-01-19T08:24:29.191-08:002010-01-19T08:24:29.191-08:00Thanks, Neil and DI--the consideration is primaril...Thanks, Neil and DI--the consideration is primarily practical and industry-driven, because it's harder to break back in once you have a certain presumed status (Author X will sell Y number of copies in Z genre). I don't blame the publishers. It makes perfect sense to me. <br><br>But there's as much loss as gain, I suppose. Dean Koontz always hated using pen names but was forced by publishers, yet re-releases of those books do very well as Koontz titles. All the same umbrella. Heck, William Goldman is one of my favorites and about as diverse as it gets.Scott Nicholsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16648292098190127457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-25768201992360020882010-01-19T13:22:21.136-08:002010-01-19T13:22:21.136-08:00Very interesting post.My husband is the fan in the...Very interesting post.<br>My husband is the fan in the family, but I find your writing posts resonate with me.<br>I'll let him know what's up at Amazon.Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430195762629030092noreply@blogger.com
