No.Anna could probably write trash for tweens quite well, if she were able to restrain her inappropriateness for any length of time.
I'm sorry but I hate it when people say stuff like this. Writing trash is a lot harder than people think. AI can't even do it yet, because it can't spit out more than 2000 or so words at a time, and consecutive vomitings aren't consistent with each other.
Tween trash, kid books, Hallmark romcoms, Harlequin books, formulaic Law and Order episodes-- all of these things are much harder to write than they appear. If they were easy to write, every writer would write them. Instead, many a pays-the-bills working writer has beaten their head against a wall trying to crack the code of a Hallmark rom-com or trashy tween book series.
Those projects require you to put aside any artistic integrity or vision and write solely for the audience, unless you are lucky enough to have a passion project that fits the format, which hardly anyone does. Anna thought she did-- that stupid monster movie, and that other Hallmark style movie she made.
But she didn't stick the landing on either because she can't actually write anything. She doesn't enjoy writing and has nothing to say. The best trashy writing is written by people who genuinely enjoy it. And that genuine enjoyment is the only reason someone will see a project through, especially writing for kids, tweens, or Hallmark viewers. Every ghost writer of a trashy tween book has hundreds of thousands of words of unpublished writing, or fanfic under a fake name, etc etc. Anna obviously doesn't have time for that, since her entire life of the last ten years is documented online and it mostly involved taking swimsuits on and off.
We also know Anna can't write trashy tween pulp, because instead she wrote that stupid memoir. Maybe she'd be able to get a book deal from one of her stupid ideas she posts on Threads, because of her follower count, but somebody who actually likes writing would ghost write it.
