As storytellers we are given the gift of presenting our visions to the world. However, are we getting into a rut? Yes it's a good thing to know the genre that sets your heart and fingers on fire when you write; even Stephen King has a different writing style than horror.
Take a story you know so well that when someone mentions a name you groan, say Cinderella or Snow White. Write it from the point of view of one of Cinderella's stepsisters. Try seeing Grumpy's view of his new world... show us why he's grumpy.
I know this has been done, but maybe you'll discover a new and exciting genre to explore; a best seller you didn't know you could write.
