Hey @beth20, I would agree with what everyone else has said so far. Although mild romance threads and are fine in middle grade, swearing of any kind automatically rules it out for that specific target audience. Like Coralie said, I think you are looking at works targeted towards the YA audience at this point.

Shannon Caeley replied to the topic Anyone here 16+? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 months ago
We’ve got an interesting age gap going on here haha. I’m seeing a lot of 16s and a lot of early 20s. Anyway I’m 18, and @jessi-rae, I think I have had the same problem of not including enough conflict in my stories also lol. Your WIP sounds really awesome! Is it going to include realistic HF elements or are you going to try to avoid historical references?

@seekjustice Eyyy wwi writing buddies? I’m in ;).
Here’s the basic storyline:
Twins, Helena and Laurence have never been separated, but Laurence illegally enlists, along side his fiery friend Russell, and dies in the Battle of Belleau Wood. The theme is strength. Laurence has never been a fighter, he’s a writer who loves the beauty around him a…[Read more]

@abigail-rebekah Yeah right now I have the kids struggling with personal convictions as to whether or not the war is right, also struggling with whether or not they should enlist even though they are underage. Those are all really good points, thanks so much!

Shannon Caeley started the topic WWI in the forum Historical Fiction Writers 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Hey all! A year or so ago I got the idea for a WWI novel. I shelved the idea at that point because I really was not equipped with what I needed to be able to focus on it. Now I’m thinking of getting it out and trying to rehash the plot and theme points I already have. The current main theme is strength, specifically where different people get…[Read more]

Welp…I typed out a long reply, then I’m assuming the forum ate it. So I will now try to restate everything lol. This should be interesting.
Hey @the-fledgling-artist! Great question. For starters, I think it’s important to realize that because we all think differently and have strengths and weaknesses in different areas, the styles of outlining…[Read more]

@ncstokes Yeah Silvia is four poor child. I find her extremely relatable. It seems I’m constantly bumping into walls, dumping eggs off of plates, and overturning glass cups XD
(Also glad you remember me 😉 )

@seekjustice Yeah like I said, mirror-touch is interesting. Like I like it, but I hate it. It gives me chills when I can feel someone by just watching them…so weird.

Ooh, this is fun!
The Flavius Kids:
Peregrine: Not speaking up when he saw that crook steal a piece of jewelry, thereby making himself an accomplice of the crime.
Aquila: Hitting the police officer who arrested Peregrine…she’s not violent, just protective.
Orson: Not returning a library book in time? I don’t know he’s a good kid.
Silvia:…[Read more]

Yeah, I can’t tell the difference between notes either @seekjustice. Maybe I could if each seperate note had a color, but they don’t for me unfortunately. My little brother Daniel has perfect pitch and can tell you exactly what note you are playing just by hearing it…and I am honestly a tad bit jealous. It is such a super power in the music…[Read more]
