It’s important to learn the genres and formats for which you’re most comfortable writing. It’s helpful to cultivate wide interests to be able to earn consistently as a writer, but having a preferred format facilitates finding the most appropriate work. Try experimenting with related fields such as writing marketing materials if you enjoy writing detailed descriptions and speeches. There are usually professional writing gigs that take advantage of the skills and key qualities of your favourite fiction genres, so you can treat these as experience.
