I agree with those who say that familiarity with a genre breeds better writing. That said, I am finding that writing in various genres is a wonderful way of stretching myself as a writer. I am currently working on a short story that is best described as science fiction. It is proving to be very hard, which I suspect is a good thing for me as a writer.
