Alison's Journal

I went to my first critique group meeting this past weekend. They seemed to think my YA-novel-in-progress should be written as a mid-grade instead. I thought long & hard about it & didn't agree, but of course I had more information about it than they did, as they only saw 3 pages. But now I'm re-thinking the idea altogether and have so many ways I want to go with it I'm not really sure what to do. I have so many other ideas, too, that I'm not sure what to focus on right now...and not at all sure what to take to the next meeting. But it will almost assuredly be a different project.
