Afraid I'm still listening to A-Ha.<br /><br />I think fears about books getting dated are misplaced. Who cares? I'm not put off 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' just because Susan says, "Never mind, there's lots to do indoors. There's a wireless, and lots of books," instead of, "There's wireless broadband, and look! Professor Kirk has got Guitar Hero on Wii! Let's rock, Pevensies." :-)Nick Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307045090887391553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-20748798441259213722009-09-18T12:37:10.476+01:002009-09-18T12:37:10.476+01:00I had to fight to keep Green Day in 'Ways to L...I had to fight to keep Green Day in 'Ways to Live Forever' - the publishers were worried it would date. I since met a bloke who told me he'd had to take his son to a Green Day concert after reading the book to him, so it had one positive effect at least.Sally Nichollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022981347132511812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-79923588831529096862009-09-18T10:41:37.580+01:002009-09-18T10:41:37.580+01:00I've noticed that my characters tend to use bi...I've noticed that my characters tend to use bikes a lot more than 'normal' kids do!
