I love language. I consider myself primarily a poet and revel in wonderful poetry. When I am reading a novel, I can tell when the writer's work is grounded in a love of verse. RONIT AND JAMIL is the perfect combination of my dual passions-poetry and young adult literature.
I have just started a new YA novel, and I am finding that I can not READ as much as I have been reading, since the language in a good book lingers in my mind. What I end up hearing is the author's voice (whomever I am reading), instead of my own.
What is most important for me now is to get back to my own voice.
