Love it. And yeah, snarky is way overdone. I've done snarky, but my WIP has a more thoughtful and almost old-fashioned-sounding MC (by design/necessity). :) <br /><br />SAVVY by Ingrid Law has a fantastic voice, though it's middle grade rather than YA. You can read the first pages of it on Amazon and see for yourself. :)Carol Riggsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-69366058330175276032013-06-19T10:27:07.883-06:002013-06-19T10:27:07.883-06:00Authentic teen voice?

I think I'd enjoy this book, I wouldn't mind the way her thoughts seem to be "all over the place"--I can even relate to that now.Ashley Nixonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-9302031762191550312013-06-18T17:53:41.223-06:002013-06-18T17:53:41.223-06:00Wow.

Although I've been told I write 'snark' quite nicely, I can't allow ALL my characters to carry that sheen. I have tried to explore different voices through some characters, which ends up being more me finding out about me than me discovering more about my world. :)Sheri Larsenhttp://writersally.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-49693366290612279452013-06-18T14:15:28.029-06:002013-06-18T14:15:28.029-06:00Bewildered!

Maybe that evens out? Huck Finn is the first to come to mind for me, but I think Scout Finch is a close second.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.writingthroughcollege.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Writing Through College</a>Samanthanoreply@blogger.com
