There is a dearth of SF in middle grade, which is part of why I'm writing one! But I'm going to do a post soon about the resurgence of kidlit SF(or surgence? Because I'm not sure there ever was kidlit SF before). And it IS tricky to write. :)Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-24455120587750556232010-07-19T08:24:31.429-07:002010-07-19T08:24:31.429-07:00I don't think I've ever read any MG sci fi...I don't think I've ever read any MG sci fi (unless Ender's Game counts???) but I'm really curious about it. I love sci fi but adult-level novels are sometimes really hard to get into. The worldbuilding can be overwhelming! It's gotta be tricky to write sci fi for kids, making science accessible. Very cool! Loved this interview. Reminded me I want to work on my mission statement, too.Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-90705875458500948052010-07-18T10:33:37.970-07:002010-07-18T10:33:37.970-07:00You do the most intriguing interviews.

You should definitely join our Author Blog Hop on Monday (see my post today about it - coming up at noon, with the contest winners!).<br /><br />@Candyland I about choked on my spit when Sherrie described it that way! I love it!!<br /><br />@Lisa Thanks!<br /><br />@Kristan Considering I mostly write SF and Fantasy, I am leagues away from not liking it. I LOVE it. In a way, it was a departure for me to write a <i>real life</i> story. But I simply fell in love with it - that happens sometimes! :) And I would love to see your mission statement, if you'd care to share on your blog sometime? Let me know...(you're the first person I know that did it too!)Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-72121428869497537402010-07-16T08:01:28.957-07:002010-07-16T08:01:28.957-07:00Great interview!

LOVE...."But life is epic all by itself."<br /><br />LOVE. IT! That's rather my philosophy too, although sometimes it's just plain fun to introduce magic or fantasy.<br /><br />Also love the mission statement, perhaps because I have one (somewhere...) as well. My boyfriend made me write it up, and I kind of rolled my eyes at the idea, but after we did it, I thought it was fabulous and really motivating!<br /><br />Thanks for a great interview, y'all!Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-63541052715887302022010-07-16T05:53:32.727-07:002010-07-16T05:53:32.727-07:00Great interview!Great interview!Elisa Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681641110829000372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-2207096401216137792010-07-16T05:48:58.811-07:002010-07-16T05:48:58.811-07:00Porn for writers?
