The question remains, What would be the subject of my book?
Would it be a romance?
Would it be a horror?
Would it be a Sci-fi?
or a thriller, drama, educational or a children book?
You just need to focus on your desires like for example, if you are a starwars fan and you like science fiction than you probably are more able to write a book about space because you allready have a background.
Between 1950 and 1970 thousands of book were science fiction books, why? The United States and the Soviet Union were in full course with their spaceprogram. For those authors their imagination was flourishing from this inspiration. Also one of the main reasons for this invasion of scifi books was the first reported UFO sighting in the US by a Kenneth Arnold in 1947 who called it for the first time a flying saucer!
Also the Industry entered into a new era, the computer revolution which now entered into the digital revolution. This evolution brought new inspiration for authors to speculate about our near future !
Before that era of sci-fi, authors were inspired by wars and battles between knights, medieval legends and fairytales. It blossomed in the gardens of imagination of authors like Tolkien for examples.
As I researched for the right combination for my book I focused on the readers I wanted to reach. People read to escape from the reality of the day to day life.
