On Themes and Writing Girl Stuff with Boys in the House

I think I've given up on the ideas of "theme days" around here. I should have known better than to try something so coordinated.

I have started querying agents with my tween verse novel, and I'm finishing up revisions on my boy middle grade. The latter was written with my boys in mind, but if I don't get cracking on it, they'll be beyond the targeted age range soon.  However, they are happy to see me back to work on the boy book. They weren't too happy to look over my shoulder to see me working on "girly" stuff.

"What's that one about, Mom?"

"A first kiss."

"Ewwwwwwwwww."  And then they would run off to build something out of Legos and leave me to my work.
