Playing with an outline . . .

in my head for the new YA. Did a little research and the topic so far hasn't appeared in YA lit. But it could pop up in Publisher's Lunch tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get an outline down when I've turned in my next tween book.

It's fun to have a shot at switching between tween and YA. Both are so different and I can't see myself doing just one. There's something I love about both age groups. :)

it's not called brainstorming

Had a great in the moment conversation with BFF about co-writing a YA idea that needs serious work, but has what we think is awesome potential. I *love* those moments when you're not even trying to come up with ideas, but you're talking about random things and it just turns into a 20 minute conversation that leave both people feeling excited about the possibilities. This particular idea is something I've been kicking around in the back of my head for a year or more. I feel it in my gut that, with work, this might make something worth proposing to my house. *excited*
