I was reading your Y post on fantasy YA and you're right.... it seems it's all carbon copies of the same theme with a slightly different storyline.<br /><br />My last 2 stories were YA contemp which included romance but revolved around a much stronger meaning, so romance only added flavor to the actual story but did not encompass it. My latest story which is MG, but borderline younger YA is fantasy and there's no romance at all. I wrote fantasy for the creative aspect and the world and creatures. So I don't think it's always about romance, but man, it sure does sell like hotcakes!!PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-11383785238458003552011-05-02T18:24:22.837+01:002011-05-02T18:24:22.837+01:00Oh neat!

Your writing style is nice (so polished!) and I'm terribly excited to see where you go next.<br /><br />I agree (I'm sure we all do) that the writing market is changing in promising ways - and, yes, we all need to uphold some rigorous traditional standards in our writing so that literature can really continue to flourish. I've had my nose stuck in Victoria Mixon's Art and Craft of Fiction for the last couple months. She's brilliant and I feel you and she have a lot in common: wanting to help us newbies get grounded in solid skills before we aim our sites on the publishing world. I appreciate any advice!<br /><br />Looking forward to following!Ramona Pyperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142485930611502862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-91334580511387146042011-05-02T17:16:31.477+01:002011-05-02T17:16:31.477+01:00I'm so grateful for the challenge because I fo...I'm so grateful for the challenge because I found great blogs, like yours. <br /><br /><i>I’m interested in honing the craft beyond the basics found in most ‘how-to’ books. I think they provide good fundamental advice, but to really get your writing to the next level I think you have to be able to go from the general to the specific of your own stories, and you can’t ask a book to answer questions and explain things further.</i><br />This is exactly why I enjoy your blog. I learn practical tips I can readily apply to my own writing. <br /><br />I especially enjoyed when you broke down the first chapters of A Kiss Before Dying and The Notebook. I learned a lot from those posts and they were fun to read. It was like being back in college in an English Lit class.Briannahttp://www.pocketfulofplaydough.pageek.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-75491482426307058732011-05-02T17:09:17.025+01:002011-05-02T17:09:17.025+01:00Nice to meet you too - looks like I am still meeti...Nice to meet you too - looks like I am still meeting nice people as a result of the challenge!
