...I'm with Angela - can't wait to read it!<br /><br />I tend to write for the audience of current me. I find it hard to go back and capture what I used to like. I'm jealous you can!<br /><br />I don't remember paying much attention to a character's ethnicity, but that's probably because most of them looked like me. But, being a girl, I loved reading strong female characters and I loved it even more when it was just taken for granted that they were good at what they did simply because they were good at what they did.Camhttp://www.theemptypen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727352439107762801.post-47915040988126300932011-07-23T14:37:55.359+08:002011-07-23T14:37:55.359+08:00Thanks, Rachel! :)Thanks, Rachel! :)lindahttp://wistfullylinda.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727352439107762801.post-50502083202559610932011-07-23T03:13:45.742+08:002011-07-23T03:13:45.742+08:00This is a wonderful post, Linda.

I...Oh oh oh, you're so smart, Linda *worships*<br /><br />I so agree that it's hard to find a relatable Asian teen, I always relate better to the white characters. Oh, and hey -- I'll be your audience! I'll happily read stuff for you, especially since I fit (in terms of age) right in with your target audience.

I'm definitely guilty of that too. But yeah, I also love<br />strong, talented female characters!lindahttp://wistfullylinda.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727352439107762801.post-78773761418798934272011-06-20T10:04:36.097+08:002011-06-20T10:04:36.097+08:00awwww thanks diane! <3awwww thanks diane! <3lindahttp://wistfullylinda.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727352439107762801.post-2174278177554979402011-06-20T05:22:25.168+08:002011-06-20T05:22:25.168+08:00AHHHHHH. that sounds like such an amazing book... ...AHHHHHH. that sounds like such an amazing book... i knew your high standards would come in handy one day. i'm so proud that you have such clarity of vision and worthy goals and i have absolute faith that you are more than capable of carrying this out!dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727352439107762801.post-70052511262187715872011-06-17T17:55:27.599+08:002011-06-17T17:55:27.599+08:00Thank you so much, Mallory!
