Pick your genre. How many do you know?

What genre do you write in - or prefer to read? Maybe you write or read a few different ones. 

For me it's always suspense / thriller friction - at least it is for my 6 novels. I have done some comedy (humour genre) in my short and One-Act plays. A bit of drama too - although drama is not a genre as such, drama can be part of most genres. I have done some Crime / Detective (combined with comedy); I have skirted close to Horror at times and a few short stories - that' about it for me. As for Romance - I don't think I could ever get anywhere near it!! 

I checked Wikipedia and they list 29 genres! Wow - I sat down before I looked and wrote down just ten! Try yourself and see how many you can come up with. Then check in HERE.

It may be a good writing exercise to write in a different genre to hone your skills - maybe, maybe not. I'd go with Historical fiction if I had to!!
