Today is Tuesday, the day I usually participate in this:
But since my brain went all mushy and happy after Kristen's interview {don't forget to enter the giveaway, if you like!}, and I decided to regain control of my writing habits... I totally forgot about it. To tide you over, here is an interesting and pertinent video of Agent Kristin explaining the difference between YA and MG {another thing I've been stressing over, lately}:
And last but not least, it's time for the Campaign! I'm very excited about this one because it's only a month long, with two challenges instead of three. And, as always, it will be a fun chance to get to know other writers and sharpen those commenting skills. I hope you'll join me!
Aw, husbands are great. And so is Nathan Bransford.
ReplyDeleteHeya! Just found you via the campaign. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteUh Oh! Don't stress about Ma-Lori, I've sort of learned the difference in MG and YA now! Yay! I liked Agent Kristen's explanation, but also I found another explanation that helped clarify it for me when I thought about the two explanations in tandem. Have you read this? http://writeoncon.com/2011/08/middle-grades-got-heart/ I thought it was good. OK, I love you juliemybird! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be joining the campaign again :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the differences in YA and MG, I say write first, worry afterwards - or is that where you are? :-)
I found agent Kristin's video a few days ago and it was really helpful. I should probably put it in my youtube favs.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you by the way.
Tuesday Stuff ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow campaigner *yay* it's lovely to meet you Julie, I appreciate having moments of 'blankness'; but its ok, it will pass. :)
Hi, Julie! I'm one of the campaign members. I'm excited to get to know you and the others. I love authors. Love writing. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the same group for the platform-building campaign so I thought I would stop by and say hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm also in your YA group. Glad to know you. Look forward to reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteFellow campaigner here, dropping by to say "Hi". Look forward to reading and learning from other writers like you.
