Has anyone done the stats on the frequency of genres over the competitions?  Like, I feel like I saw a whole lot of historical fiction and sci-fi this round, but very few crime capers, for example.


maybe I'll do that for this first round.

This is my first go at NYCM, and I got a crime caper. I was perplexed and frustrated when I got the prompt, but had a lot of fun writing. I read 2-4 historical monographs everyday, and I really underestimated how writing something (anything) outside of my daily usual would be refreshing...cautiously optimistic for the second round, but hoping not to get another crime caper, for the sake of variety!

Historical Fiction x2
Thriller x1
Suspense x1
Political Satire x1

So there are still twelve I haven't done.

I love the chart!
