In a weird way. I mean, can't he just leave Aura alone? Can't he let her move on? Logan is dead and even though Aura can see him and he can somehow communicate with her, doesn't mean that he can have Aura all to himself. He needs to let it all go and let Aura move on to Zachary.<br /><br />moonfairyirene(at)gmail(dot)comElyonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733524167431220727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-46373589737025102062011-04-26T20:30:36.910-04:002011-04-26T20:30:36.910-04:00I can't believe I still haven't read Shade...I can't believe I still haven't read Shade.

I might as well have asked if you wanted to smack *me.* (Don't answer that. ;-)<br /><br />Donnas: There are definitely some advantages to writing YA vs. adult. YA is less constrained in both plot and writing style, especially when compared with adult genres like romance and fantasy. Younger readers tend to be less set in their ways and expectations. Look at things like verse novels, or the use of first-person present tense. Very popular in YA but almost nonexistent in adult fiction. <br /><br />I think readers also cut teen characters a little more slack in the way they feel and behave, so we're allowed to paint them more realistically, more humanly. I think there's more emotional honesty in YA books for that reason. <br /><br />For instance, look at people's reactions to Logan's death and Aura's mourning. If they were adults, readers would be a lot less forgiving. But I think (I hope) I managed to make them believable and sympathetic despite being way less than perfect. I'm not interested in reading or writing about perfect people of any age, but I find that teens characters are judged less harshly.<br /><br />So as long as we create a good story and believable characters, we can write the books any way we want. Which is a wonderful creative freedom I definitely don't take for granted!Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986567025249948237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-77222732892515889432011-04-26T18:31:42.526-04:002011-04-26T18:31:42.526-04:00The book sounds great :O Looking forward to readin...The book sounds great :O Looking forward to reading it.Ceanhttp://www.ceandra.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-60077091866634881172011-04-26T18:27:03.925-04:002011-04-26T18:27:03.925-04:00Logan bugs me most of the time.

(Although Logan is sad that he hasn't made the whole world love him, as is his goal in life, uh, afterlife now.) I can't wait to see the reaction to tomorrow's post about The Other Guy (shh, can't mention the name on Logan's day). <br /><br />June, great questions! Hmm, I haven't had many weird reader encounters at all. Usually the worst for me is at a booksigning when people ask me where the bathroom is. :-D And no, I've never seen a ghost, and I very much do NOT want to. I am very happy leaving the paranormal stuff to the imagination. :)Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986567025249948237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-14982945675064302152011-04-26T17:36:49.823-04:002011-04-26T17:36:49.823-04:00@Brooke - I'm guessing Jeri gets a lot of thos...@Brooke - I'm guessing Jeri gets a lot of those emails because I've sent several "you made me cry like a baby" ones to her.<br /><br />@Aten Ra - <33333<br /><br />Let's have a Team Logan party.
