I'm an avid reader, and I like a lot of different genres, so you'd think it'd be easy for me to pick one to write serial fiction around.
Not so much. I'm also finding that my reading tastes have changed over time. Things I used to devour and that still fill way too many shelves in my library, never get touched anymore.
For example, I'm a little witchy and woo, so paranormal should fit right? Except I'm about to donate all my paranormal and shifter books to the library book sale because I don't read them anymore. And if I don't even want to read them anymore, I certainly am not going to want to spend week after week in that world pretending I'm having fun.
That would be too much like having a job, and I've always been of the mind that being creative should flow. If it feels too much like work, then you're not creating what you were meant to be creating.
When I tested the Serial Story Fit Finder, going through the interview process pulled my answers together and came up with something I never would have found on a generic niche list, but I know it works because it's exactly the type of niche I like to read: small town romance with a definite women's fiction vibe and a little local history woven in.
That's what this tool does. Because the right niche isn't just one you can produce. It's one you'll care enough to keep producing.
