I am an aspiring writer, interested primarily in fiction, though I can write non-fiction too. I feel a sense of recognition and affinity with a few different genre's and I'm wondering which one or perhaps, two to choose. The obvious answer is to experiment with them till I can identify one I really want to concentrate on but I am old and don't have much time, (maybe 15 or 20 years to actually write).
So, if any of you know a shortcut to choosing a genre', please share it with me. Anecdotal accounts of your process of discovery are very welcome, as well as all you "just-the-facts, ma'am" folks.

a Sincere "Thank you!" to all who respond.
Close your eyes, pretend to go visit the wizard who lives on the top of the hill, and ask him. What is his answer?
Smells like alcohol but seems nice enough. I thought his name was 'whizzard' though....least that's what people around here call him. Probably has something to do with his independence from indoor plumbing. A real visionary and pioneer, if I've ever known one!
Oh! One point of procedure question though, should I click my heels three times and turn around first or just close my eyes and go visit him? Cause.... ya know, all that spinning makes me dizzy and nauseous and I don't wanna heave on my glass slippers or his worn-out sandals.
....Okay, I'm back. Passed out once from the stench....seems he's added a few new aromas lately, certainly doesn't just rest on his laurels in that regard! Anyway, just before I passed out, I got my answer, "Tilt", he said, just like my cousin Delbert's 8-Ball. Well, that's two of the same answer from widely respected oracles, reckon it's a sign. Pinball fiction it is!!! Woohoo!!! Thanks Mightyqueen801!

Three or four of my choices involve comedy. And I pretty much habitually look for the humor in everything, anyway.
My sincere appreciation.
You're welcome. Now get to writing!
I should take my own advice.
