Life in the Yankee household has been crazy, crazy these last few months. My oldest turned 10, and it’s gone downhill ever since.
No, just joking.
But seriously, I have been very busy. I’m working with 11 authors at the moment, while still trying to carve out time to work on my own ideas. My YA hockey story died for the moment. Not because it’s not a good idea – but because I sure as heck don’t know how a 15yr old male speaks, thinks, acts, you name it! No matter how many books I’ve read or how many tv/movies I’ve watched. I’ll wait until the older one is closer to 15 and revisit that idea.
I am working on a story that I came up with a few years ago about a 10yr old, but stopped working on it because – you guessed it – I didn’t know how a 10yr old spoke, ate, acted like – you get my drift. BUT with my very own 10yr old, I sure know A LOT about how they act, speak, and especially how they treat their younger brother.
So….when I’m not working, I’m trying very hard to get this story written. It’s a middle-grade fantasy. Yikes! Did I say fantasy?!?!?!? Something completely new for me, but I’m having fun with it.
Peace,
Kris
