Chapters (17)

And there you have it – a glimpse of what could have been. Anger and strife instead of warmth and weird jokes. I know which version I prefer.

I hope you found this little insight into the writing process at least vaguely interesting. I had originally wanted to have all these pages blank for you to, like, doodle, or something. But they said no, there had to be stuff. Interesting stuff. With words.

(You can still doodle, though. If you want. In the margins.) I’m going now. I have work to do. And books to write. And my cat has just sat on my keyboard, and she won’t get off.
