@seekjustice
Great question!
First, let me try to think up a reasonable response…
…
…
Personally, I love it when the character is exactly my age, but because YA is such a broad age group, that rarely happens. From 12-18, it’s hard to find a happy medium for everyone in an age group.
So.
As far as I know, the characters I’ve read in YA have…[Read more] -

@seekjustice – This is a great question and something I’m not very knowledgeable about, but I will share a little bit just of what I’ve experienced: There’s this one book that I’ve read about 3 times. The first time I read it, the WIP was a little younger than me, but I still got a ton out of the book. The second time I read it, I realized he was…[Read more]

Hey there KeePers!
I need advice. Currently I’m looking at how I’ll need to improve my WIP and what I need to change as I get ready to start on my second draft. I’ve identified a few things I want to change but I’m in two minds about my mc’s age. The novel is a superhero/scifi YA but my character is 24/25ish.
My question is: do you think I should…[Read more] -

@epicaddie2, I agree that it probably wouldn’t work for a novel, but a short story told from the pov of a tree would be fascinating. Like Elizabeth said, there are some really awesome and old trees in the world. Maybe a historical short story about a famous tree that lived through a historical event? You could Google the Hiroshima Bonsai tree,…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm I’m late to the party so I’ll just grab a soda and some ice cream and leave. But not before I say this: I think it’s good to avoid evolution, but I believe that just as long as you focus on the elements of the story than the reader will be caught up enough in the story that she won’t notice. I mean, CS Lewis used mythological…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree @that_writer_girl_99 @perfectfifths @anyone
I kinda set a goal to write for 2 hrs in all today, and so far I’ve only got about an hour and 20-ish minutes in. :/ So here I am to write as much as I can if anyone wants to join.:D -

Good idea. @epicaddie2

Well, here’s a thought. Some trees are more than 100 years old. That means they’ve “seen” a lot of stuff–a lot of historical events, a lot of people, a lot of change. Anyone (or anything) who’s seen stuff like that deserves to have their story told.
