“Once I became an adult and started to pursue writing as a professional career, I realized my main characters were always young people. My stories naturally center around children and teenagers.

The pains and joys of adolescents are moments I witness on a daily basis, so their stories are always with me as I write.” PeopleThinkingWritingYearsChildrenMomentsCharacterStoriesPainYoungJoyCareersYouthAdultsBasesI RealizedPursueWitnessTeenagerTwelveMain CharactersProfessional Career Author:Renee Watson
