We're diving deep into the true essence of genre. Many writers get caught up in the labels like "fantasy" or "science fiction," thinking these define their genre. But guess what? They're not real genres! 😮

In this video, I'll break down the five crucial categories within genre that will revolutionize how you think about your story. We'll explore:

* Structure Genre - Arc Plot vs. Mini Plot - What's best for your narrative?
* Time Genre - Crafting the perfect timeline for your characters.
* Style Genre - Drama or Comedy? Find your story's voice.
* Reality Genre - Realism vs. Fantasy - Setting the stage for your theme.
* Content Genre - The core of your story's message and impact.

Join me as I share insights from my upcoming book, _The Shithead_, and my journey of transforming the theme of self-acceptance into a compelling narrative. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear roadmap to defining your genre and making impactful storytelling decisions. 🚀
