Teen dream

So, the teen market.

All my life, even when I was a kid, I’ve been dreaming of writing a novel for ADULTS.

When I was 13, I had this idea about a girl who discovers two vampires dying in her dad’s basement (cool idea but Stephenie Meyer is all over the vampire theme right now, not sure I can even go there. Publishers are probably silently slitting their wrists every time they get a pitch about a vampire-themed novel right now )

Anyway, even that idea of mine was aimed at the adult market.

It’s just never occured to me to write a teen novel which is crazy cos, like I’ve said before, there’s an emo teen within me, fighting to get out! I get on with teens (my beautiful cuz Soefi is someone I enjoy long e-convos with and is one of the most insightful chicks I know) and it just all makes sense right now. Of course, I know teen books are read by adults too but I just feel like this might be the way to go to ‘focus’ my mind, so to speak.

Sorry to bore you with writing-related entries lately but it’s all I think about.

Still editing script, onto episode two. Once I finish it, will start focusing on my novel  …
