Actually, I don’t gear writing to teenagers. They have the intellectual capacity of adults. They’re just waiting for their hormones to settle down so they’re not so much at the mercy of them (that lasts about thirty years) and to accumulate adult experience. Both of those things take time, but neither keeps them from writing well.

I actually wrote a post once just for teenagers in response to John Scalzi’s claim that all teenage writing sucks by nature. It doesn’t. Teens frequently write much cleaner, clearer stuff than adults with similar amounts of writing experience under their belts.

All you really need is a wild imagination and huevos, and teens have those in abundance!
