It's often I have to pull back a bit in my YA. *sigh*Elena Solodowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037029195682225565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955548665653773708.post-62770962389975325402010-12-07T20:03:06.466-05:002010-12-07T20:03:06.466-05:00Hmmm, now there's an idea, Arc!

In prowling blogs I've noticed that YA seems to be 'the' thing to write these days, but yeah, doesn't work for me. <br /><br />I get my happy mom moments letting my twelve year old read a few kid safe scenes when they come up. He either laughs a lot or gives me that 'uh that was really weird, mom' look. <br /><br />Thanks! I'm glad to hear that at least my stories sound good to an adult. :) Now, if only they would polish themselves...Jean Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047709505502621618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955548665653773708.post-85523702536784612352010-12-06T21:44:32.771-05:002010-12-06T21:44:32.771-05:00Yeah, something tells me you're not a natural ...Yeah, something tells me you're not a natural YA lady. S'okay, though. The YA field's getting a bit crowded these days. Your story ideas, as adult as they may be, sound pretty dang kick-ass.<br /><br />So I am a YA guy, and I've got two teenagers, and I can honestly say their feedback (when I can get them to read something I've written) is never very gratifying. It's always pretty much just a shrug, and then, "Yeah,Dad. It was good."Ray Veenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956279552298172157noreply@blogger.com
