After a long break from working on my book, (in all ways) I see it a little differently. I am able to catch mistakes that I have missed, see parts that are not so dynamic in the flow of the story, and also repeats of the same thought..... So, as I am looking over my story and listening to it on my phone (since I figured out how to get my phone to read it to me), I am noticing a huge conflict in my style and content... My style--I think--is simple, like a children's book, but the content of the story is for mid- to older teens (15 or 16 through 19-ish) ... I didn't really know what age group my story was for until I completed it....but I think how I wrote it is simple enough for someone 13 or younger.... To me it doesn't match up.
Does anyone else encounter this problem? If so, what do you do?
Please help me fix this.
In that, if I'm going to match it up, I'm going to have to revise it a LOT! and take out or change a lot of dark parts; don't want to give kids bad thoughts or bad dreams...ya know?
