In a way, I think she's right, but in another way, doesn't it depend on what one wants to accomplish with one's work? Are exploring boundaries obligatory, or should they be left to those with the knack for it?
Granted, I'm coming at this from the SF side, but I do have a fantasy in mind that I'm sure some folks would call same old same old. OTOH, I'm happy with the storyline since I want to explore character and play with some history, and that's what I'm doing. For that matter, that's what I'm doing in the SF as well. If I'm happy doing what I'm doing, should I really try to do something else? More importantly, am I *obligated* to try to do something else because I'm in the position where I can?
No answers here. Just questions, and a little concern.
