I would write books with a good message. Not something so overt, but something that people will definitely take away with them even though they weren't beat over the head with it. An enjoyable book with a good message. The stuff I write tends to end up as dramedy for some reason. Though I have written some dystopian stuff and am currently working on an action piece. But I will still add a message that will help people live a life that is beneficial for them. Don't judge. I just want to help. :D

I write detective and human interest novels. I'm currently working on a book about a murder mystery and I have an idea for another book that I will start as soon as I've finished this one.

Definitely YA paranormal/fantasy with a splash of romance for good measure :D That's my dream and one day it will be a reality!

A book where everyone dies, for the irony.
Well, not literally everyone dies, but a lot of characters will.

I have an idea I've been thinking about for a few years now. But I have no formal writing training and don't really have a plan of action. I don't know exactly what would happen or anything but the premise is somewhat of a dystopian genre. I don't have much of a plot, but just scenes and characters pop into my head. I really wish I could form more of it.

I would write mystery/detective novels, they're definitely my favorite. Also, maybe some fantasy books too.

I would love to be a fiction writer. It amazes me the stories that human minds can create.

This is going to sound crazy, but I have this "great idea" for writing textbooks to teach English speakers how to speak Japanese. Japanese textbooks are so boring and I have a bunch of great ideas to make them more interesting.

Romance (be it historical, paranormal or contemporary), maybe Romantica, YA (definitely with romance in it) and when I get better, I want to try my hand at writing crime.
