I've been reading YA for years (well, perhaps I just never stopped), for both professional and personal reasons. I also hope to someday write a YA novel or two myself. And I agree, that's where some of the most exciting writing is happening nowadays. In a YA novel, an author has to write tightly, cleanly, authentically - no bloated, self-important, fancy-pants prose allowed! But I haven't read any for a few months, and I really must remedy that. Haven't even gotten to Twilight yet - I know, I know, I'm the last person on earth. I love YA.

Some days I play with a YA that I have an idea for but right now I'm really just focusing on finishing my second book in this contract. And if you judged the same contest I did, there were some GREAT YA submissions there. There were two that I read that I just HAD to read immediately, and none were truly painful.
