It's hard for me to work on two middle grades at a time. (Unless they are totally different, like one in the middle ages and one in area 51...or one in first person, the other in third.)<br /><br />But I like having lots of different things going on....and to type comments on blogs instead of working.....<br /><br />(still loving the purple!)storyqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039684494823420722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-11494465024362048622010-07-14T11:53:32.253-04:002010-07-14T11:53:32.253-04:00I mostly write YA paranormal, but I have an adult ...I mostly write YA paranormal, but I have an adult paranormal shoved in a metaphorical drawer somewhere. Even that has protagonists in college, not traditional "adults", so I guess I'm a YA writer at heart. But I don't think I could write something that didn't have a paranormal element, or at least, I'd have a very difficult time of it. <br /><br />Good post!Tere Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562750950130316280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-68705237546352728012010-07-14T09:20:06.327-04:002010-07-14T09:20:06.327-04:00All I can think of is the Blues Brothers.

I ...Yes, "handy dandy" is truly archaic.<br /><br />I write multiple genres. I haven't had a problem with it, but then I can't say how good any of them are. It helps that I have two distinct styles of writing... I have a somewhat snarky, faster-paced sort of voice option and a more poetic always third-person voice option.Jess Tudorhttp://www.jessicatudor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-55479058527665235522010-07-14T09:02:44.328-04:002010-07-14T09:02:44.328-04:00Thanks Carrie!
