Do you have time/inclination to read a story I'm writing that's both aimed at teens (or young adult) and where the main character's a teen?

Admitting this makes me feel old, but it's been over a decade since I was a teenager.

It's going to be a novel in the end (although it's only up to 8,000 words right now) so probably not such a great idea.

Thanks anyway!

Granted, the main character is the younger end of the adolescent spectrum, but the book is aimed at an adolescent/growing audience since he and the others in the book grow to maturity in this book and the sequels.

Do you have time to read through a story (only 8,000 words at present, but probably to be very long in the end) aimed and about young teens?

Mostly, I want to know if the voices sound okay or if I'm writing them way older than I should.

I guess the question is...do you want it to count?

Re: Eh

[tielan]

That's fine. I just wanted perspectives from people whose formative years aren't as far behind them as mine are.

LOL. Got an email address? It's a story I'm writing that's aimed at a Young Adults audience.

I don't even want to admit how long it's been since I was a teen.

Argh...

[tielan]

Over a decade for me. See, I can admit that because it's been *just* over a decade. And most people seem to think I'm younger anyway...

So are you talking chronological age or emotional/ maturity age? ;-)

[tielan]

Shush, you. :)
