shingworks In reply to LadyEpic [2011-12-13 16:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Not after the first book :\ Have to draw the line somewhere. It's more than possible to write a YA book that doesn't piss off older readers (Hunger Games for example), and just the novelty of being a younger writer is not an excuse to publish something that poorly constructed. Too bad if the next books were better, I guess I'll never know!

Fair enough. Hunger Games was excellent.

That fourht note made me parinoid for a split second because a clutch of spiders hatched in my house recently and I've found tiny spider EVERYWHERE. So there could quite likely be a spider on my back right now. T.T

Actually, this is one of the most helpful expression tutorials I've seen. It really gets to the ROOT of the expression. I never noticed how the bottoms of eyes on devilish faces are kind of squinted.
