Oh, she's 32. Wait. I'll be 32 NEXT WEEK! Holy cow, it's been 14 YEARS since I graduated!"<br /><br />Thanks a lot. ;)Ben Spendlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715176546668792509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-56257620739762454722011-05-11T10:40:13.930-06:002011-05-11T10:40:13.930-06:00Um...

My youngest brother just got out of high school last year so he's not much help. Being in YW for almost four years really helped! Great post. It can be hard to get the YA voice just right. I just had an agent tell me that my MC sounded more MG. Grr. It was frustrating to hear but I'm hoping my changes correct that :)<br /><br />By the way, you won a critique on my blog :)Michelle Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040685503147648297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-56888803902469545422011-05-10T23:59:24.038-06:002011-05-10T23:59:24.038-06:00I'm one of the younger sibs, so I hang out wit...I'm one of the younger sibs, so I hang out with my nieces and nephews.

AND to have YA readers read your blog! I have no idea how I keep up with the YA voice. I think it's because I just never really grew up. Or I might totally stink, and I just don't realize it. ;)ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-63338466670480857802011-05-10T15:46:41.879-06:002011-05-10T15:46:41.879-06:00Lol.

I don't know how those years were deemed "the best years of your life" but whoever said that was wrong! Honestly, I can't write YA fiction. I can't get into that mindset...it's boring for me to write (not read). That's why I stick with fantasy! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503400522084515874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-52958014779497445762011-05-09T11:23:20.689-06:002011-05-09T11:23:20.689-06:00I have a soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old girl that sup...I have a soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old girl that supplies plenty of stories regarding teenage drama (much of it due to miscommunication on texts and Facebook). I, too, am glad to be out of high school. I also have a 13-year-old stepson who's immature enough to supply me with middle grade humor. That boy always has the giggles/chuckles about something :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-75701201103309010712011-05-09T10:55:44.817-06:002011-05-09T10:55:44.817-06:00I have two sisters who are 12 and 14 so that helps...I have two sisters who are 12 and 14 so that helps a bunch!
