It's the first thing I've read that finally cleared up the ya/na angst I've had since I finished my first draft and realised it probably wasn't the straightforward adult work I'd assumed it was. Looks like it's na, which clears a big old fug of revision stress over character development. Also relieved not having to edit out all the s#@!- ton of swearing my characters keep doing! 😀Leilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-75487040499873091452015-02-22T09:38:36.759-08:002015-02-22T09:38:36.759-08:00Thanks for giving us this chance! :D I just found ...Thanks for giving us this chance! :D I just found your blog today and I'm really excited about poking around and seeing what advice and inspiration I can find here.
