I keep dusting off a story I originally started as a short when I was in high school. I’ve rewritten the easiest completed parts a couple of times, and continue to add to it over time. I was fully planning on diving in to finally finish it this summer. Now I’m thinking once again about putting it on the back burner. I’ve got 2 competing ideas floating in my heads. One I know I can wait on. The other is what’s intriguing me. /thread #writingcommunity#authorsofmastodon
My New Roommate is a #NewAdult book, and has some heavy and graphic sex scenes, including with April. The Challenges of Being Me is #youngadult and Lauren is very wholesome, which she also was in the first book. April’s story will have to be sex-heavy too, as that was a plot point of the first book. In your opinion, is it ok to have 1 #YA story sandwiched between 2 more explicit stories? #writingcommunity#authorsofmastodon@bookstodon@mastodonbooks
When a Mariachi star transfers schools, he expects to be handed his new group's lead vocalist spot—what he gets instead is a tenacious current lead with a very familiar, very kissable face.
#WordWeavers 2024-05-17 Have you ever written for other age groups?
I don't write for children, but preventing children from reading my stuff isn't my problem; that's their parents' job.
Besides, when I was 10 my idea of light reading was Stephen King, Anne Rice, Michael Moorcock, and Clive Barker. I sure as hell wasn't reading what passed for #YA fiction in the 1980s and 1990s; once you got past Judy Blume & Beverly Cleary YA was nothing but the print equivalent of ABC AfterSchool Specials. 🤮

Updated #introduction well #reintroduction. I switched instances today upon learning that MastodonBooks will be shutting down in June. Thank you @RogerRemacle for giving us all plenty of notice to migrate our accounts. I'm a husband, dad, and #selfpublished#YA#author living in the #buffalo NY suburbs, and root for all my local #sports teams. I enjoy reading, and started #writing because I wanted to create the kinds of stories I'd enjoy to read. Nice to meet you all

Et voilà ! Je viens d'envoyer le manuscrit de "La Terre qui monte" (la suite et fin du "Pays qui descend") à mon éditeur !
Parution prévue pour cette année. On croise les doigts !
The world is a strange mix of space-faring and Victorian, but not steampunk. The plot twists were actually pretty surprising and more macabre than I was expecting, even given the name of the book is Revenger. The book was creative, and it was delightful to read YA without a romance involved and to just see this young woman grow into who she needed to be. That woman is quite engaging and powerful.
