Young Adult Romance Novel

Typing away on your high-tech workstation

Paid for by best sellers,

Telling stories of young love,

About children.

Crafting a narrative,

Your ideal teenage love interest

Falling for your slightly flawed protagonist.

Saying that you write for the younger generation.

Is that true?

Or do you write for yourself?

Do you write the fantasies of your audience?

Or the fantasies of your mind?

The things you think about at night

Before you fall asleep.

Go get your award.

Writing of the romance you never had.

The boy you never found,

The girl that got away.

Go ahead.

Write the narrative where

You get them.

But don’t you dare claim

That it

Is for anyone 

Other than

Yourself.
