Last night The Fug Girls blogged a link to a riveting tumblr account chronicling a 15 year old girl’s move to a hippie commune in Oregon. The story is fake (proof: Ask About Becca) but it is so well written that you find yourself rooting for Becca to escape nonetheless. Hell, I even spent an hour googling the shit out of this to make sure there wasn’t some poor kid trying to get out of a cult.
This is the sort of creativity that makes writing so much fun. This is the sort of writing that makes YA fiction so captivating; THIS IS THE SORT OF WRITING THAT DEVELOPS A LIFE-LONG LOVE FOR READING. And this is exactly what today’s youth need if we are to have any hope of beating the Jersey Shore / MTV / E! / Reality dumbing down today’s youth are constantly exposed to.
Brava Ms. Lovinger! Keep writing.
