When I was learning to write (okay, still am), I concentrated on plot for my adult novels. When I found myself getting pulled into YA and MG, I realized that some very popular books had average plots. And I loved them anyway. Oddly, I've always thought that character development was my weak point, but my editor (independent, I'm unpublished) and beta-readers tell me it's my strong point. Maybe all writers think they suck at character development. But I love the freedom that comes with YA. I can write irrational characters because we were all irrational at that age. It makes for an interesting cast. Thanks for the post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.com
