Need Writing Advice?

...Well then, I am NOT the one to give it.  But here are a few funny posts you might enjoy by the lovely Kiersten White, author of the Paranormalcy series, on the Rules of Genre and the Basic Plots of YA stories.

By these rules, I tend to stick with either:

1. Horrific/Urban Fantasy Road Trips where the end is near and we will probably die, but first we must make out! ... OR 
2. the Best Friend Romance where the person isn't actually a best friend but they have to go to the Big Dance anyway and of course there is kissing and stuff! ...  OR 
3. I delve into Dystopian weirdness, completely foregoing all set rules of character names and kissing and family plays a big role, not a boy. (Wait...does that mean I'm not writing YA?)
