Memoir of a Writer 
To difficult for adults, eh? Clever.
(So then even the adults will understand it, I assume.)
I struggled with this. Write to YA? YA+? Adults? I find it most difficult to write pure adult, with all that entails. It’s as if I don’t really wan the world to be like that. I know it’s like that, but to go full-on Triple-R rating just strikes me as a failure to be nuanced and evocative. Which is something I’ve always thought good writing should be.

Im a bit biased. I dont really like the genre ‘YA’, but I think that there are books that are categorized at such that are still good for adults to read.
I think that lauguage should elevate the mind, even when written for a younger audience.
