Writing in first person for YA, I tend to spend a bit too much time on introspection, and although it can really get you into the characters head and experience, I've also been accused of "navel gazing", LOL. Balance is the key, as it is in all things:-)PJ Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761755589950460065noreply@blogger.com
