That's exactly my attitude. It's just that overtime I've started inferring much more things than stating. I'm kinda worried sometimes it's not enough, and not just for a teen audience (and it's not because I'm better or more sophisticated than anyone else, it's just a particular element of style that I enjoy and has stuck). So yeah. But of course, I never look down on my audience, even when they're teens. I mean, my YA book idea was conceived when I was a teen, so I just hope that somehow I can reach that audience. I definitely hope it will turn out different, so to say. Maybe not even through the content, because I know YA is pretty rigid in the formula, but I still hope someone gives me the chance to at least try to get it out there. That said, I'm still prepared to receive like 80 or 5000 rejection letters, so
I think the thing you have to remember is that YA, teens aren't stupid. Looka t hunger games. It's about murdering children. MURDERING EACH OTHER. That's dark and heavy. Treat them like they are smart enough to understand the concepts and they will!
As for the style, I'm starting to get kinda worried. I mean, i have no doubt that my style has improved over the time that I've been writing, but most of my stories have so far been adult-focused. I wonder if the way I write is still palatable to a YA audience or not.
Yeah I've been slacking on Scrib. Been reading more than writing lately. I tried painting a little more yesterday. Dalton got annoying and distracting so I had to put it down.
Here and the blog. Later on scrib. I need to get some karma first...
Here or scrib?
So I'll be posting up a short story soon. I hope I can complete it today
I hope so, man this writing is bad. How'd this get through an editor!
I heard this one was pretty tongue in cheek, though? In any case, yeah, we can do it XD
So I am trying to read more YA so I can write YA right? I started city of bones, the first mortal instruments book. You know there's a movie and a show now of it. Page 17. Look at this (excuse my phone picture editing and quality) Black, blacker, and Blackish. Plus another black! All in one paragraph lolololol If this and twilight are famous, we should be bestsellers by now
