Haha damn man . I guess that ' s the one upside to not pulling gotenks and not finishing LR Goku . I have a few training items left . <| sep |> I always thought it was Trent saying Fairweather Friends twice at the end of the choruses and Mark sings something about get off that in the last chorus . I might have been wrong all this time . <| sep |> 1 you write under a pen name . This is the easiest way to separate both your academic and fiction writing , and later in your career your works in different genres . Many authors have multiple pen names they publish under in different genres . An example that comes to mind is Vanessa Schwabb who publishes under that name for her MG fiction and as V . E Schwabb for her adult stuff . So they don ' t even have to be drastically different . Apologies if I got those the wrong way round 2 every agent is different , some will agree to represent you in all genres even if they don ' t usually specialise in them , some will give you their blessing to seek additional representation for books in a genre they don ' t represent . This will be a conversation you have with your agent wayyyy down the line . I ' m on mobile and can ' t remember the other questions but I ' ll add this while you ' re starting out it might be better to stick to one genre just for a little while you build yourself as a brand . Once you ' re established you ' ll find it easier to transition because by then publishers will at least trust you to deliver .
