I enjoy writing for both kids and adults, though i think i'm better at children's stories because i was a teacher for so long, and i know that audience well. the process is no different whether i'm writing for children or adults. really, the elements of making a good story are the same.

More From Rick Riordan

The greeks used to use the same stories, the same mythology, time after time, different authors. there was no premium placed upon an original story, and indeed, shakespeare likewise. a lot of people wrote plays about great kings. they didn't expect a brand-new story. it was what that new author made of the old story. it is probably the same now. we disguise it by inventing what seem to be new stories, but they're basically the same story anyway.
Kings Play People
Kids audience is a brilliant audience. if you've got an audience of adults standing up and clapping, or you've got an audience of kids standing up and clapping, i know which one i'd choose.
Kids Adults Brilliant
I think most micro-brewers/craft-brewers are similar in that they enjoy making something themselves and at the end of the day they can enjoy the fruit of their labor. most people really enjoy the process of making beer and like the industry as a whole. we often are passionate about what we do and enjoy talking to people about the art and science of making beer.

Kids, if anything, are harder to write for because they are a more discerning audience. they will not stay with you if you go off on a tangent or if you give them extraneous information that doesn't serve the story. you really have to tell a tight story. you have to give them humor and suspense and believable characters. all those things that adults want too, but you have to be really on your game when you're writing for kids.
Writing Character Kids
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
One of the remarkable qualities of the story is that it creates space. we can dwell in a story, walk around, find our own place. the story confronts but does not oppress; the story inspires but does not manipulate. the story invites us to an encounter, a dialogue, a mutual sharing. as long as we have stories to tell to each other there is hope. as long as we can remind each other of the lives of men and women in whom the love of god becomes manifest, there is reason to move forward to new land in which new stories are hidden.
