Need an advice. I am too DARK-MINDED. My writings are dark as well.
So, I made a crappy short story and sell it at lulu for 2 USD. And it is dark. I make stories at fictionpress and its like gore and stuff. Any advice on how I can make a children's novel or stories? tnx
Grimm's Fairy Tales, Bugs Bunny, the whole vampire fascination...those are dark, too and kids to young adults love them. We love to be scared!
Just because you want to write for kids doesn't mean you have to eliminate your darker thoughts. You may want to temper them with comedy or lighter moments in between--maybe have one character who is especially Eeyore, a couple of Winney the Pooh and Tigers for balance.
Don't throw away your success, just expand. Work outward from that dark side and add some color and light.

I have two hubs up so far. I am not entirely sure what a great ranking would be considering that they are quite new, but they are both above 60. Is this pretty good for newly established hubs? I would appreciate any feedback on my work and what can be done to improve for the future, as well as...

I agree. I recently read a spy thriller which was a good story, but the MAIN "hook" of the story - the thing that had kept me reading all the way through - was not resolved.This particular author hasn't even written the next book yet, and apparently he averages one book per year. So...
