starbreaker, #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. 🤮
