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*

First post giddiness

Hi!

I'm an author of an established middle-grade series for a major house, which I write under a pen name. I'm hoping to begin writing books for young adults soon (while still penning middle-grade) under my real name, so it's time to get started with a new blog for YA projects as they begin. I'll likely reveal my pen name in the future, but for now, I'm keeping it quiet until I start writing YA.

Yay for the first post! :)
