Oh, good. For a moment, I was worried you were saying there were already enough books for YA and MG.

@liberty

Oops, sorry. I’m doing Spanish homework and my brain is officially frying.

We need good books in both YA and MG genres.

@koshka

Really though, if you want to write for kid’s or YA, know that there’s not a lot of places so in need of what you have to say.

I’m sorry, could you rewrite this sentence? I don’t think I understand it.

Hmm…yes, I agree with you about the Dawn. Totally.

@liberty

*Cackles*

*Cough cough*

Excuse me.

You see, I’m starting to fall in love with writing for kids. Or maybe I did a long time ago and I’m just now figuring that out. Either way, it’s a topic I’m passionate about. This world is a dark place for kids, for anybody, and it’s just going to get darker in these last hours before Dawn. Kid’s…[Read more]

And yes, Yigal was military. There’s a lot of flower/name symbolism in the story… did you catch it?

Yes, I did catch it…but I didn’t know that it was related to the military. Guess I learned something new.

@koshka

Look out. I’m a mildly passionate children’s writer, and I’m always ready to recruit a few more. 😉

What do you mean??

@raxforge

Oh my gosh. I’m sure Tim never did that. At least, I hope he wouldn’t. His poor grandfather. So, what that how he got his scar? Or was it really in the war?

@raxforge

……

Ouch.

@keilah-h

Awesome. I like their tails in the wind.

Yeah, I had thought of a general short story to do, but it didn’t happen. Maybe I’ll stick it here later, maybe I’ll just let it grow moss in the back of my mind until it ends up in some WIP quite by accident.

@calyhuge

Woah. I just read your story. I can see many people saying it’s gross…but it’s kind of intriguing. (I have a fascination for popping abscesses and pussy things like that.) Most people wouldn’t anthropomorphize pus.

Your writing style reminds me of my brother’s. Must be a boy thing!

If you aren’t able to request access to my…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oooo, sure!

@liberty

Ah, I understand. I mostly wrote MG now, but there was a time I stepped back, looked at my writing, and was just like “Teens won’t read whatever this is, but is sure can’t be for kids.”

But then learned a few things and grew a little more, and you know what? It’s okay. Kids live in a dark world too. It’s a matter of perspective. Their…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well, there’s nothing new under the sun!

That’s certainly true!

@liberty

HA! That is so funny!

Well, there’s nothing new under the sun!

@calyhuge

UGH!

That is sick!

There is no way that’s winning.

ugh, ugh, ugh!

Okay, I do have to admit I was laughing my head off, but man that was so sick. (and I mean that the bad way.)

Remind me to never read your stuff again.

Okay, I guess it wasn’t all that bad.

but good grief.

@elishavet-pidyon

Was Yigal in the military?

@ellette-giselle

The concept (a boy is only allowed to see the sun, and a girl is always in darkness) is so much like yours!

@calyhuge

I think requesting access is the only way.

@liberty

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

No, but I’ve always wanted to read it. I just haven’t gotten my hands on it yet. The George McDonald one, right?

@koshka

Yeah…that’s what I’ve been wrestling with. I first thought it would be MG, but as I worked more on the plot, I started thinking, “This sounds more like YA.” But I didn’t like the idea of writing it for YA. I’ll see more when I start writing it and see the tone of the story more, but for now, I’m “writing” it for both age groups.

@keilah-h

THANKS!
