Special Kids Doing Big Things

It seems that for years now we've been seeing all these stories pop up with "special kids".  I don't even remember when it all started.  Kids are vampires, werewolves, demons; they are fly, walk through walls and do just about anything because they have "superpowers".  Their worlds aren't based in reality.  It seems like that's what people are going for nowadays. 

In the movie Chronicle kids wake up with superpowers and we all about "special powers" from watching X-Men but then again in Buffy the Vampire Slayer kids with special powers popped up everywhere so maybe it all started there and then just blew up.

I write stories based in reality, except for my new project that I call Superman and Me sometimes I call it Alien Girl.  I think it's a good idea to stretch your creative juices and try writing something different from time to time but don't try to predict what will be a hit; you'll just be wasting your time if you try to do that.  The truth is no one really knows what will be the next "hot" story.  The best thing to do is to just keep writing and try out different kind of stories from time to time and most important have some fun.
