And once you're concentrating on what your character cares about (boyfriend, family, situation of peril), the dialog flows. Yes, I read books, and they might be more helpful than the young teens infecting my house, as their slang is transitory. But the concerns remain the same.Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-52521960572970180102012-05-17T13:48:18.205-07:002012-05-17T13:48:18.205-07:00For the librarians:

And how do you get into their MG minds to describe what they are thinking?<br /><br />Do you read other MG books? Do you watch how your MG children are talking?<br /><br />Thanks.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.com
