Do you write fiction? What’s your subject matter? What’s your specialty? I would say my specialty is sexuality.
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a lot about money, what having it did to people and what not having it did to people.
A writer can have more than one specialty. Fitzgerald wrote a lot about youth and romance, too. He would mix youth, romance and money all together for what the world came to know as the classic Fitzgerald short story.
I write about more than just sexuality; but sexuality is definitely one of the ways that I explore the lives of my characters.
Even if you think you don’t have a specialty, you probably do.

Blogging: When Will The Bombs Fall?
Image via Wikipedia
It’s around 12:30 AM and the Old Soldier is blogging, watching Charlie Rose on public television, drinking green tea and wondering when will the bombs start to fall.
The UN resolution to use force has past and the Old Soldier thinks this is the beginning of the end for the Libyan strong man.

As a Vietnam War veteran, the Old Soldier can’t but help think back to his youth as a soldier any time something like the situation in Libya happens.
