I confess to being the kind of person who finds it much more relaxing to shop in my local co-op (UK translation: small and generally inadequately stocked (not very) super-market) than in a huge supermarket because it makes me work with the ingredients i'm given rather than fanny on deciding which one of 10 squillion possibiliities i'll serve up for tea that night. <br /><br />So, in writing for kids and teens, it's quite liberating knowing that there are some places i'm not likely to go. If i've picked the right theme for that audience, there's not much i can't put in there. <br /><br />On the other hand, i'm still waiting to be published, so maybe it's the self censorship that i'm so good at is exactly what's holding back the creative flow that could be getting me noticed... hmm... Good food for thought, McPherson. <br /> M Louise Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165271083632185438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-36843509763413994052013-01-17T09:16:28.887-08:002013-01-17T09:16:28.887-08:00Sounds like you have the best of both worlds -- vi...Sounds like you have the best of both worlds -- visit a bygone era in one book, and then it's f-bombs, sex and grisly murder in the next.
