Why I write YA...

Much delay in blogging thanks to a massive rewrite, but I am
now done. Woohoo!

So onto today’s post -- yesterday I was thinking about why I
write YA and came to a really embarrassing conclusion. Do you remember when you
were in high school and had your first real crush? Do you remember how it felt
like the entire world was spinning when he (or she) would talk to you? Do you
remember the intensity of your first kiss?

That’s why I write YA. I get that same tingly feeling when I
write one of these scenes. It’s addicting. I love recreating the amaziness,
awkwardness, and general craziness of being a teen.

So what do you write and why?
