WRITING MANY GENRES

I have a trunk full of notebooks of stuff written over the years. Poems, stories, commentaries, plays, and essays. I'm putting some poems in some kind of order as I am desiring to publish a chapbook. 

Though famous writers are known for writing in one genre, they wrote other works. Herman Melville wrote poetry and prose as well as novels. Dorothy Parker was a satirist beside being a novelist and poet. Maya Angelou is credited with a list of movies and plays. Known for her poems, she also wrote essays and autobiographies. 

Writing different genres has expanded my writing resume. I took to poetry writing when my story writing and commentaries grew stale. I've written a few plays also. I enjoy essay writing and dabbled writing horror. It's good to do something different for a change. I suggest giving it a try.
