WARNING: I am close to tears as I am writing this. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to put this.
I have had an idea for adult short story collection that would be a goofy SF. Like a sitcom in book form...kind of. I've had it for years now. The sad part is that its adult and I've only felt comfortable writing MG. I keep telling myself to ignore the idea because "I can't write adult". But the idea is so strong. I love it with all my being. There is no way to make it MG or even YA, though.
I need this idea. I need to write it. It's my happy place. I've attempted to write this (and other adult projects) but they all sound too MG with sentence structure, word choice, and (most importantly) jokes. I've read plenty of adult books, so I think I get what Adult supposed to sound like, but I just can't master it.
How can I push forwards and write it? Is there some type of mindset trick? Or should I just suck it up and try again and again and again until I get it right?
Please help.
