Confusing, right?
But since I'm scheduling my post, I thought it would be interesting.
In my teenaged writing years, I went through a period of writing tragedy. In my suspense works, someone died. In my romance works, someone died. It got to a point that my cousin threatened to stop reading. I think she actually did, now that I think about it!
Now that I'm older, I do still lean towards darker, sadder tones, but I've tried to not kill any of my characters...for now.
As a writer, did any of you have a different theme than what you trend towards now?

I was super into writing tragedy as a teenager, too. To be honest, I still am, but it's now much more balanced with silliness, heh.
I wrote more contemporary teen and adult fiction in my teens and now I write fantasy/paranormal YA. Funny how things change.
Ehhh... happiness? Hehehe. It's not that I *try* to write brutally sad stories (with hopeful, bittersweet endings, maybe?), it's just that I don't know - I can't write a truly happy story if I'm writing a new MS, I think. It's weird.
