My First YA Book

Alrighty so I've chosen the plot of my first Young Adult book. Remember those Point Horror books released by Scholastic? I used to inhale them and I still endulge now and then. There is just a vibe that came with those titles: Teacher's Pet, The Beach House, Trick or Treat. And I need to get it out of my system.

I don't think anyone publishes these any more. 50000 - 60000 words YA Horror/Mystery/Thrillers.

But I REALLY want to write one! And since my first book is mainly going to be stretching my muse in this new genre I think I will write one anyway and publish it free, maybe as a blog serial.

Possible Titles:

I Know You're Alone
The Stalker
Home Alone
Dark House

.....
Anyway I'm going to work on it as I work through the HTTS and I'll show my process as I go.

You always should write what you love to read. Markets change and if you plan on having a long-term career you might be able to rewrite the book at some later point in life. Good luck.
