I may be an amateur, but my view at writing is... Dont take books or "laws" about writing fiction so seriously. Just write in your own style. People like different things. After all writing is art. Art is a product of human emotions, and is in my opinion, best when it comes straight from your heart.

@lindawhocares Thats fine, when people aren't paying for it.

[ariannahiggins]

this is evidence of the "dumbing down of America", pure and simple. Details are what makes language powerful, and literature beautiful. If you can't see the value and pleasure in words, only big explosions and violence, then stop reading altogether. And stop complaining.

Literature major/poetess out.

[MelinaPendulum]

@ariannahiggins Thats not what I'm saying. There is nothing wrong with using beautiful language. However, there is a problem will using purple prose in situations where it isn't warranted. Yes, there is beauty in words, I won't be an english major if I didn't think so, but YA Adult books misuse prose in abundance.

The books you show are ones you like or don't like?

Because if you like Vampire Kisses I would be really disappointed.

[MelinaPendulum]

@ChikenMuffinz Well, then you would be disappointed. it's a guilty pleasure, I know its no good.

I don't claim to have any allknowing view on publishing. This is just my opinion. I haven't published anything or put anything out to be published because I am waiting to put out something that I can be proud of.

Just because something sells doesn't always make it a superior piece of literature and anyone can see that, published or not.

I have spent most of my young life trying to become a better writer, so yeah, it does annoy me when people just become popular because of trend. I'm human.

I love Dimitri Belikov and Alexander Sterling! :'D

The girl in The Lovely Bones was average to me, but I adore her character....then again, she WAS a spirit, so maybe she was a bit above average XD

[Icy199512]

@breezeandjaypwn Then you have nothing to worry about if you make it interesting

[XXCissneiXX]

Ooh! So do you like A Great And Terrible Beauty series? Will make a review on them? I love Libba Bray Books. I'm reading Beauty Queens right now.

@MelinaPendulum I think that metaphores mean a lot.For example:"My young years sounded like a song, but I passed them with love by a hand, I remained with my hand empty like King Lear's."I think it's really sensible.I mean, I don't really prefer:My young years are kinda dizzy,had crushes all the time, but, in the end love just went by, with a cruel smile on her red lips-the forbidden apple(sorry, can't help myself), and I was left with nothing.I think that you have to speak from heart.

[ElenaTheMonster]

I like romances in stories where the girl and the boy HATE each other, then after a long, long time, they become friends and then slowly fall in love.

[samaimdeda]

I AGREE! I hate it when in TV shows, or in book, the author or creater tries to shove some sort of belief down your throat. That's why I love Baccano! <3

[hinasakukimi]

@TwiThomas04 Then I think that you should just keep YOUR opinion to yourself. ;-)

[23peacelovemusic]

It's like you can read my mind...

Finally! Someone who agrees with me! You would not believe how much paranormal/supernatural books are in the YA section at my local Books-a-million. I guess it's just hard to find good YA fiction these days.
