Question

Writers if you had to choose between fiction and poetry, which would you choose?
My school only allows you to specialize in one or the other. Im relatively decided but curious about what other people prefer and why.

Answer

Fiction. I love poetry too, but theres something so engrossing about the elements of telling a story and making a compelling plot. I also think that to some extent, poetry can be incorporated into prose I mean, look at some modern authors, Neil Gaiman comes to mind, and they reeeally have a way with language, some very pretty turns of phrase.
