IWSG
I will read nearly everything, but when I write I tone down both my language and my romance level for my readers who are primarily young adults. As a tutor and teacher, I have had many students read my blog and read my work. Because of this, I used to be hesitant about hosting book promos for certain types of romance, but I have fewer students these days so I am loosening up a bit on that.
I never mean to write gory violence, but I do write action-violence in my books - fistfights, spaceship battles, laser beam weapons, etc. I try to keep it PG to PG-13.

The Nexus Book Party Continues!
Amaya is supposed to bring peace to the galaxy. Which is tough when she’s being held for crimes against the Neutral Zone. Her imprisonment is on her own ship with her own crew. But close quarters create tension.
Honestly, her role as Rayatana is a mess.
She may never get to use her powers for anything good. Not if her teacher continues to keep secrets, and not if her powers keep harming others. Putting her mother in a coma should put her in prison, but she has a mission. She wants to bring peace to her people. She needs to become the Rayatana.

I too will read just about anything, but don't write it.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a cover for "Cling to God." :(
I think our lines in the sand have a whole lot to do with our intended audiences :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - I keep it rather tame and PG.
ReplyDeleteI just know my mom and grandmother are looking over my should when I write. That keeps my language and romance on this side of appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI too will read just about anything....except...poorly written stuff. It's like a scratchy record...after awhile it drives ya nuts. Also gratuitious porn or gore.
ReplyDeleteHR - I know, somehow I goofed up this morning, but it's fixed now. Thanks for the catch!
ReplyDeleteJemi - yes, it's about the audience!
Alex - yes, tame and PG is what I can write - although some of my action scenes I have to tone down.
C. Lee - that's cool. It doesn't work for me since my grandma had some books on her shelf that were in the spicy romance level, which I discovered at age 10 when I accidentally started reading one. (She said I could read anything on her bookshelf...well, except that.)
Hi Tyrean - I prefer tame too. Congratulations to Lynda for her book, and then you too - your Nexus - good luck to you both - cheers Hilary

ReplyDeleteThere is it! Very nice. :)
I relate to the line "write tame and PG" to describe my spoken as well as written words.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well in your writerly life. You are so supportive of others and I hope good will returns to you in full measure.
Congrats on your book release—looking forward to hosting you next week!
ReplyDeleteLinda's new cover is lovely! Congrats on the re-release.
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly busy with your schedule with Nexus. Don't forget to breathe once in a while.
Gratuitous swearing, sex, or violence is not welcome in my genre, and that works for me.
I think knowing people who might read your books definitely helps to get the tone right :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved your post on Romulan ale :D Good luck with the book!
Jemima
Leigh - I get that.
ReplyDeleteHilary - Thank you!
Patricia - Thank you!
HR - yes!
Talklady - Thank you!
MJ - Thank you for all of your encouragement!
Lee - yes, Time to breathe is good.
And thank you!
Jemima - thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Tyrean,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book release! So exciting! I caught your excerpt at Alex's blog... Excellent! All the best!
Congrats Lynda! In these troubled times, I am sure your book will bring hope and inspiration to many people. We need spiritual support now more than ever.
I liked your guest post on Romulan ale.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you watch your language when students are reading your blog and books. I'm careful too because I write MG and YA too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a fantastic tour scheduled to celebrate your book release.
I can understand wanting to keep your writing a bit tamer when you know your students might be reading it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and Lynda!
I like the sound of spaceship battles and laser beam weapons! Stopping by from the blog hop.
ReplyDeletewww.caledonialass.blogspot.com
I am definitely adding this to my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteI have only put down a couple of books and they all had violence at the very start before I knew anything about the characters at all. Violence as part of an action scene that furthers the plot or helps move a character's arc is obviously necessary, but gory stuff for the sake of a hook, not so much.
Congrats on your new release. I prefer violence off screen, so to speak. I don't need to read it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tyrean for your support with my cover reveal. I'm thrilled people seem to like the cover. It's always scary putting it out there for the first time.
ReplyDeleteAnd a huge congrats on your new release too! I love book 2's cover so much!
Congrats on your Nexus party! :)
ReplyDeleteThat’s a very pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to having you on my blog next week, Tyrean. :)
A PG rating is about right! Great way to sum it up.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to send your devotional book as a gift?
Congrats on your new book! I, too, loved your post about Romulan Ale. While I have a few personal lines I won't cross, basically if language and events fit the story, they work. Since I write for adults, that hasn't been a big issue. Writers like you who write young adult have a much more difficult journey during the writing in order to keep it more kid friendly.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the PG13 writing;) Good way of putting it.
ReplyDeleteNEXUS sounds intriguing.
Best wishes to you and Lynda:)
