...At least, that's what the people in my creative writing class say, when asked to describe their YA novel.
Is it a lengthy mulling-over ("Elizabeth looked over the cliff, thought about the long drop down. Ironic, she thought. Her life was a long drop down. And now her death would be, too."), etc.?
And...
I stereotype the image as a pretentious poet type, who wears tweed blazers (with elbow patches) over trousers, who sips $6 lattes at Starbucks while typing furiously on their laptop.
What is ironic, and who writes it?
