Lori Perkins blogged recently about how your second novel should be published in the same genre as your first. The book I'm currently writing is political fiction. But I know that my second novel will most likely be a thriller. A political thriller, yes, but definitely not within the same genre lines as the one I'm writing now.
I'm considering... not necessarily putting it on hold, but putting it on the back burner, so to speak, to write something more in the genre I'd really like to write in and maybe write that in whatever free time I might ever have.
Holly Lisle, a fantasy writer, mentioned having another novel, outside her chosen genre, that she worked on once a week or so.
But I desperately don't want to set aside a second book in the matter of only a few months.

Who knows? You could become a trend breaker! :P
I think that whatever you do, don't try to force yourself to write something that you don't want to.
Well, it's not that either of these stories is something I don't want to write. I do; I'm truly interested in both of them. But I feel like if the political fiction is the first one I submit, I'll be trapping myself for whatever comes next.
