Wow.
Wow.
Wow. Just read an amazing book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Apparently, it’s been making a lot of big noise across the pond for a while now but the UK’s only just catching on. It’s essentially a love story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire and it’s beautiful. It’s intense. It’s stunning in its simplicity.
The vampire, Edward Cullen, is an absolute dream.
I literally read it in, like, five hours and am onto the next book now (there’s four books in the Twilight series, new one out soon).
Reading this book has literally sealed the deal as far as the teen market goes. I gotta rush but will go into more deets about this in my next post (god, why is my life so busy – please slow down, life train!).

Just finished reading a pretty darn good teen book called Generation Dead by Daniel Waters. It’s not AMAZING but it’s such a fab concept: basically, teenagers are starting to come back from the dead. Not in a disgusting zombie way (so no brain eating; no crumbling skin) but in a kinda cold, pale way. It’s sold as being a kinda love story between a ‘breathing’ girl and a ‘dead’ boy but it’s not really about that.
It starts well, and has some funny characters. But it struggles a bit at the end. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t still recommend it though.
Anyway, it’s got me thinking more about writing for the teen market. There’s an idea formulating in my mind. And two very special characters. I think that idea would suit the teen market most, specifically angsty teenage girls …
Will tell you more about it when it becomes a bit clearer in my mind. Am also trying to focus on my script at the mo (one project at a time, right?) which I’ve actually written but I just need to finish the end and edit it. I don’t feel any urgent hurry with the script, would like to finish it for autumn, for sure.
Anyway my poppets, catch up laters. Sorry if this post is a bit crap and grammatically challenged! x
