Writing for Different Age Groups: Crafting Stories for Children, Teens, and Adults

In the intricate realm of storytelling, one size does not fit all. Writing is a dance with words, and every reader takes a different step. To truly captivate an audience, a writer must be attuned to the age group they aim to enchant. Children, teens, and adults have unique needs, desires, and sensibilities when it comes to literature. In this exploration, we delve into the art of tailoring…

"Wow, you're so self-aware! It takes most people years of therapy and dedication to get to that point." Thanks, I constantly feel completely disconnected from my physical being and the material sensation of my body, brain, and spirit/soul is so overwhelming that I often have to see myself as an objective third-party instead of an integrated entity. Father son holy spirit and all that.

#how long ago did i watch pacific rim? i feel like it might have been last year but i finally drew this lmao #sometimes it just takes a while. newt specifically gets under my skin tho bc i think his research interests r kinda similar to mine #at least in a broad sense. but im dealing with cyanobacteria which is less exciting to most ppl lol but any fanfic i read thats like: newt #has 6 phds im like fucking what? what r they in? they have to be literature based right?! when would u have time to independently design. #carry out. write and defend for 6 independent projects in different topics by his age? #what as waste of time. i say as a person who would happily fuck around and collect degrees without ever having to get a real job #idk characters i relate to make me a little unhinged bc i do not like to relate to characters lol #pacific rim #herman gottlieb #newt geiszler #newton geiszler #tw blood #tw gore #also i agree with herman abt the numbers quote. physics is like literally understanding the fabric of the universe so like yeah #also i cant draw hermann and i cant see his face without thinking of owen from torchwood who i hated lol #pacrim

"It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself!" -Jane Austen's Emma

#glimbow AU when #yes this is a subtweet to myself #catradora would be Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill of course #Catra is Frank this goes without saying #Glimmer is SO GOOD as Emma tho shut up #obviously we age Bow down because I cannot with the 16 year age difference sorry Jane babe #but I mean it would fit SO WELL and also arrow reference so COME ON #don't make me write this myself I have too much to do #glimbow #glimmer #bow #jane austen #emma #they are like the OG slow burn friends to lover template tho!!! #sorry for not being normal about classic literature it WILL happen again

[theood]

Th' stereotype that autistic people like numbers was always one I was like "oh! not me though haha. Cuz we are normal"

In 4-5 grade all I would write were Haikus. I wrote hundreds of them for my classes and I would share them when we shared our work. My teacher was super positive about nurturing this in me and I loved counting out syllables and following the rigidness of writing them.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately

#elias howls #Little literature boy strikes again. I started to say I hated poems because that's what everyone else around me did at a certain age (and i #had to fit in) BUT I DON'T!!!!!! I'VE NEVER HATED POETRY!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I LOVE COUNTING STANZAS AND LISTING OUT RHYMING SCHEMES AND #I LOVE LITERARY ANALYSIS ESPECIALLY WITH POEMS BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE CAN TAKE TWO VERY DIFFERENT IDEAS/MORALS/END FROM POEMS. GRRRRGRUAGH I W #ISH I COULD GO BACK TO ANALYSIS. I HAVE SO MUCH PASSION FOR READING AND DISCUSSION AND LITERATURE. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

why are so many stories nowadays about the end of things. the fall of civilizations. the end of eras. the sad slow death of the past into a grimmer future. this sense of living in the End Times has permeated sooo many genres for a literal Century and it just makes me sad that the change is. always towards the world getting smaller and darker and less magical

#I guess that reflects a lot of society fears etc #but like just off the top of my head in three seconds: #lord of the rings. pirates of the Caribbean. assassins creed valhalla. red dead redemption. Star Wars #that’s across like six different genres right there #and like yeah there’s obv Some hopeful endings to all of those #but the world they occupy is always about an age Coming To An End and the next one is going to be. Worse than the next #I actually have a lot to say about how wwii is the huge pivot point in literature #and in world society #where people stopped believing things are going to Get Better #and how that idea is reflected ALLL OVER in media from 1946 onwards #basically humanity saw just how terrible we can be and it was sooo much worse than the average person had ever dreamed #and since then. the general consensus has switched from bright new future to. racing against the clock before our time on earth is up #it’s actually a really interesting pivot because it’s SOOO widespread in famous media #anyway. just some thoughts #what if…. a story about the Beginning of a world and the insane hardships involved in THAT #it’s always an old guard story I wanna see. what a new guard looks like

🍄, 📚, 🍬, 🍦 & 🎨 for the ask game? 💕✨

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairing

hmmm... Goodween is actually not that much younger than Cotta but everyone assumes he is because he's an officer and he probably looks younger than he actually is. Also everyone at the station avoids being around Cotta when he's mad but BOY, when Goodween is mad for once, nobody will be seen in his vicinity at all because that man usually doesn't get mad and then shit really must've hit the fan

📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?

"Flitzpiepen??" <- me pondering if Skinny would call the boys that

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

Bob Andrews is not an uwu soft boy, he is a sarcastic little bitch who can get quite mean when the chance arises/the circumstances are right and that's very much canon and not just an opinion. and that's why i love him.

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

uhhhhh Clarissa Franklin is intelligent, understands people very well so she knows what buttons to push and... somewhat takes care of her sister's dog, i guess?

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

there are so many!! like @michameinmicha's Skinny opening tomato soup which i can't find rn (so sorry!! D: ) will forever be a fav of mine! also @manahiel's Cotta in general is one of my favs but also the incredible animated intro?? and this piece by @kollegen-den-schnapp-ich-mir is probably my favourite Skinny fan art

writers' truth or dare ask game

#thank you love :* 💖 #the goodweens age thing is solely based on me perceiving goodweens 'verstanden inspektor' as sounding not much younger than cotta actually #i like the younger goodween - older cotta thing but solely based on their voices they sound similar to me #maybe like a 4-5 ish year difference? #also: ''i have a masters in literature analysis''-voice: bob's not a cutesy femme and he loves his sarcastic/almost mean oneliners #we will ignore that franklin's plan in her last book would've worked if she'd just fucked off and not contacted bob #so so so many great artists i'm sorry i couldn't mention all i just had to go with these three <3 #thanks for nothing tumblr search i swear i tried to find it for like 5 min micha ._. #brain still can't decide what to focus on so I'd love more questions #ask game

tiktok authors being like "i work soooo hard, i've been writing this book for like 3-4 months now! authors work hard and you should never ever rate a book less than 3 stars bc we work so hard!!!"

pls go on this webbed site or ao3. some of these people have been writing one (1) work for YEARS. yeah quality can vary, but so can your books... you do not deserve an award just bc you put some effort into whatever it is you're writing, that's the bare minimum for any published piece of work...

#im not equating fanfic with legit published books btw #there are some publishing-ready fanfic works out there but def not a majority of them #books that get professionally published and sell well are often those written by people who have an educational background in literature or #whatever and a professional editor to help them #the ppl writing and publishing fanworks are often just hobbyists who dont have a background in writing #but ppl on booktok believe that just bc they like to write it means that their work is equivalent to those who do have a background in #writing and its just not true. you can literally SEE the difference in their booktok writing and actual award winning novels #living in a terrible age where i am so so happy people are getting more into reading and writing #but hating it too bc its turning into a consumerism thing again #they are trying to social media books and thats not what they are for!!! #booktok

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, justifying giving his fallen-woman character a happy ending, 1838:

And [name of character]!—Will the world blame us if you are left happy at the last? We are daily banishing from our law-books the statutes that disproportion punishment to crime. Daily we preach the doctrine that we demoralize wherever we strain justice into cruelty. It is time that we should apply to the Social Code the Wisdom we recognize in Legislation! It is time that we should do away with the punishment of death for inadequate offences, even in books; it is time that we should allow the morality of atonement, and permit to Error the right to hope, as the reward of submission to its suffering.

[Book this is from under the cut]

The quote is from the last paragraph of Alice, or The Mysteries (1838), which is a sequel to Ernest Maltravers, or The Eleusinia (1837). The books don't really stand alone, they are two halves of the same story.

#obviously he's still saying here 'it's an error and a crime and she should suffer and atone' #but also 'she shouldn't have to die about it and maybe even deserves to be happy' #which was a huge thing to say in that day and age #i can't find anything about how this was received but if it's anything like the reviews gaskell got for ruth 15 years later... #... then yes he really did have to make her suffer and atone #and yes he really did have to make her 'error' be out of innocence and yes she really did have to be otherwise-perfect and self-sacrificing #because if he didn't he wouldn't be able to get people to listen to what he had to say #also he did point out the double-standard and also make the man suffer just like #he suffered in a very different way #edward bulwer-lytton #fallen women #victorian literature

"fanfiction doesn't count as literature" elaborate

i am not sure what even to elaborate on this bc it seems pretty self-evident to me. fanfiction is not literature—fanfiction is fanfiction. literature and fanfiction are both pieces of writing, yes, but authorial and narrative intent, form, style, and conventions are completely different (and that's just on a textual level... i mean if you look at it on a meta-level and considering things like accessibility and publication conventions there are even more differences). they scratch different itches and serve different needs. like, you wouldn't call a letter i write to a friend "literature" either, even though it's a piece of narrative writing.

you can find examples of good and bad—and, let's be real, most often mediocre—writing in both literature and fanfiction. neither one is inherently better or worse than the other. i also think it would do a great disservice to fanfiction to count it it as a traditional genre, since it has its own history that is mostly separate from traditional literature (and traditional literary genres). fanfiction also encompasses so many subgenres that it wouldn't make sense to just throw it all into one genre of literature.

but also, like, you don't need the approval of a stranger on the internet to call fanfiction literature. if that's what you wanna do then go for it. we can have different opinions on the topic and it be okay. you do you—it's literally not that deep.

#i have no idea why you'd want for fanfiction to be literature. if fanfiction is literature it's not fanfiction anymore. #it's literature then. and like i said intentions; conventions; etc. are different for literature compared to fanfiction. #fanfiction is pretty unique in the way it is produced; distributed; read; interacted with; etc. #also saying 'fanfiction doesn't count as literature' is not slander in my opinion #unless you go into that sentence with the assumption that fanfiction is inferior to literature—and then that's kind of on you #btw i have still no idea what post you're talking about specifically but i haven't talked about fanfic in ages #so still don't know where this is coming from #but happy to share the way i see it #answer #anon #hope you had a great start into your week #((and if you wanna share you're opinion on this you're more than welcome to do so)) #additional tags i forgot to include before: #at the end of the day you can ask 10 different people and get 10 different answers on whether or not fanfiction counts as literature. #and i mean quite frankly i’m not the authority on telling people what they should/should not consider literature. #it’s all so subjective with art anyway.

If I have to read another argument about how books have to condemn everything the audience might find ~morally bankrupt~ I am going to toss the entirety of this planet into a blackhole

#if you cannot or have not bothered to form your own opinions on ~problematic~ themes then #you probably need to pick up a different book #an author is not here to be your moral compass #you need to understand how to distinguish fiction from reality #the author shouldn’t have to tell you something is fucked up #and that they don’t condone it in real life #you should be able at the age you’re reading all these ~problematic~ things at to be able to #be able to make your own opinions on a piece of literature without knowing how the author #intended to condemn or condone #anyway that’s tonight rant goodnight

Age difference hurts.

i love him and he loves me, but things are so much more than this.

I talk to him everyday, and i want to be with him forever, yet our forever feels like it has a due date.

I wont ever be able to introduce him to my mom, nor to my friends.

I love him and he loves me, but are we truly meant to be ?

sometimes it can be weird to talk about my interests irl because people think I'm pretentious and I don't how to explain I love garbage actually, it's just OLD garbage

#thoughts #life stuff I guess #what I get for liking classic films #classic literature #films #like some things like Theodora Goes Wild are not that different from 90s romcoms! #I just like them better cause most of them had more creative ways to keep a couple apart than 'one of them is dating someone else' #or like eliza haywood? Don't get wrong she was doing stuff #but it was also the 18th century equivalent of like... colleen hoover (wildly popular romance) #but just saying 'oh yeah I'm into golden age hollywood and eighteenth century literature' makes it sound like I'm sipping tea #looking down on modern things #and like... I am usually sipping tea #but I like some modern things too! I just don't have the same academic interest in discussing them (usually)

[rowanhoney]

hey even if that heartbreak had me in a mess for over a year at least I’m even more in tune with and aware of myself in a way like never ever before so so incredible

#this is why I couldn’t get over him tho #cos like I met him and my whole life changed #I was like wooooah this is who I am thanks for showing me #oh wait where are you going waaaaait #and then he was gone and I was so so different from everyone left around me #and I felt more me but also more out of place than ever #I still feel very out of place!!!! #but I’m in a space where I’m embracing this new self better #like music was always life but it’s taken on a new level it’s maaaddddd #and I was out of touch w film for a while but I’m getting back into it #even if we didn’t discuss film a lot all my artistic appreciation goes hand in hand #the more I love music the more I love film and then literature and design #I’m loving life #I’m really really loving myself #so for that I’m grateful I met him #but he can stay gone cos I’ve exceeded him #he’s cool but feels years and years behind me can’t explain #this past year has just been insane in terms of growth #like a bamboo year #it was growing deeper for ages #and I couldn’t see or feel the growth #and then something happened I’m not sure what and everything changed #like I fully felt like I wasn’t just stagnant but going backwards #I love being a new me again and again
