My writing took a large detour from crime thrillers a few years ago to fantasy books for Young Adults. Although I enjoyed writing crime I found myself being immersed in my new world and enjoying the freedom it has given me to let my creativity off the lead and see where it runs to. I wasn't sure whether I would "fit" in Young Adult stories but on reading them through after first draft I felt myself in the world that I had created. It was a game changer for me and I have continued to write in that genre for a while now and have made a series with that first book as the kick off point.
One of the things I love doing in fantasy is making up names for people and places. Such freedom to create something brand new out of your imagination. To me, it connects me to the book in a way that writing crime couldn't do and I am always listening to myself in my everyday life in case I come across a new name or theme for a group of names for people and places.
Such freedom.
