thats more if your specifically aiming for one type of market. theres enough markets out there that if youre looking to sell your piece, youll find a place that fits.

wait a few hours (even a day?) before proofreading, forget it exists for a bit, then go back to it. youll see the errors if you go in looking for them. as for the motivation/not getting bored in editing, its rough. you do have to give your stories some time, but for me, theres a lot of stories i have that are "good" or can be good if i put the energy and time in but i dont want to. so i dont try to edit them. i know if i dont care for the story, it wont come out well. it needs to be something that i either enjoy writing, or something that i really want people to read. if i dont have that, i dont want to write, and no matter how good or amazing your idea or plot or character is, if you dont really have any interest or drive, your story will suffer for it. as you get better, youll find those i dont give a poo poo stories come out a little cleaner but i still look back at some of my bad stories that had that drive and think theyre more interesting and enjoyable than those that were better written but i didnt really care. so, maybe its not even that your not waiting long enough, but that your not writing what you want to write. it might also be worth it, as blasphemous as this may sound, to not do TD, or, at least approach TD from the angle of your story not being a finished product but as a (relatively well developed) draft (this is what i do btw). that way, you can get your critiques, let them ruminate in your head for a bit, and then get back to in the weeks/month you need for you to be interested in the story again. it also might be better to do TD less, and to rather spend more time on one or two stories for a month than to spread your effort out among like four stories. of course, the big issue with process questions is that every process is different for everyone. theres no easy solution and sometimes (most of the time [all of the time]) its not fun. you just have to find what works for you, and that takes some experimentation and also some really lovely moments where youre trying to make a certain way work when it really shouldnt. but, in my opinion, the only bad writing process is one where you arent writing. its all about finding the one that works best for you. hope that helps

yes it does turn out being good and spending a lot of time on your books means they come out better. i dont think it has anything to do with the genre, there's a lot of bad poo poo in every genre and a good writer knows how to make their genre work.

Music Theory posted:Why write with a specific genre in mind? you like writing (or reading) the genre, that genre has a better paying market than another, youre better at writing in one genre than the other, you want to try something new, books of certain genres sell better (probably, i dont actually know just guessing), etc. etc.

also having a specific genre lets you keep things more cohesive and easier for your reader to understand. when something's fantasy, most readers understand what that means and you dont really have to explain what elves/dwarves are and then can use that extra time of not needing to explain to tell a good story
