Both as a writer AND a reader. And, if you're wondering, when I'm talking about "genres", I'm talking about... the category of written work.

Are my poetry juices running out?!?!?!
Uh oh. So, lately I've been noticing something in my writing habits. ... I'M NOT WRITING POEMS ANYMORE. I mean, I feel like this should be a bad thing... right? I was going so strong with it for so long, and I was learning so much from my writing both about myself and poetry itself. …

Yes, I came up with that... haha. But, seriously, think about it. When you decide to sit down and write a poem (or rather don't decide …
