Or the other way around: something you like to read, but don’t like to write? (Not that you struggle to write, but hate doing it at all. Even if you are good at it.)

I was pondering this question myself and hadn’t come up with too many answers. Vague ideas, like how I don’t like describing the environment, but I can enjoy a good descriptive passage in someone else’s work. On the other hand, everything I like to write I like to read.

However, I know some people don’t like reading other people’s renditions of certain tropes. I’m interested in hearing about it.

I can’t think of any genres or tropes off the top of my head which count for me, but I know there are some of those too!

    Thank you. I like to think I’ve gotten better over the years but sometimes I get comments that make me flail my arms for an hour.

      Entirely fair. I think that is, unfortunately, just part of the experience. That said, I imagine your work really resonates with others who find comfort in similar things. Part of the joy of writing niche is fulfilling something that others seeking it can’t easily find elsewhere.
