Writers’ Coffee Club for 22nd February 2026
22. Are there types of settings you avoid writing? Why?
Grimdark. I don’t find it entertaining to write about the worst of humanity.
You’ll not find any glittery vampires in my settings, either. Creatures who live by draining the life from other sentient beings are *not* nice people…
I’m not going to write historical fiction, either – primary due to lack of motivation for doing enough research to get it right!
