Did you ...Your comment is so kind, Ron, thank you!! Did you ever read Richard Peck's YA novels back in the day? )Yeah, I'm in the age range you are, but ssshh!!.) He was a huge inspiration to me and blurbed my first MG The Healing Spe;; with Scholastic 4 years ago. When I got the email from my editor with his blurb I sat at my desk and sobbed. God bless *you* and I'm wishing you all good things with your novel - risky but SO needed. Would love to read that.

I've bounced around ...Great encouragement, Kim. I've bounced around through a few genres and completed 5 novels. None published, but I'm patient. Now, a 47 year-old conservative male is supposed to like the technothrillers and psychokiller stuff. And I do read those from time to time. This year, I realized that most of what I read is YA. When I was an actual young adult, we didn't call it that. We just called them good books. Now that I'm an old young adult, I still enjoy those good books. When I discovered guys like Green, I realized it was okay to write them. What I like about YA is that there seem to be no boundaries on plot and character. Like you said, anything goes. My first, which I'm just now outlining, touches on teen abortion. I'm told it's risky. As if writing isn't risky. Your comments only encourage me to plow ahead. God bless and thanks for the post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.com
