I don’t get the heart system here, I’m already out of hearts to give for the next 13 hours. 
Thank you very much! It’s been a long time since I’ve shared something creative like this, especially something I connected so strongly with. It was fun to take the two characters and just freewrite with them to see what they ended up wanting to do.
Haha no worries. I’m trying to use extra moments to steal time for reading and writing between working at home while taking care of my kid. I think that’s why it feels like life is powered by coffee and fever dreams. 
There’s never enough time or energy to get everything done in a day.
It’s still another year away before my kid can start school and I’m tired of waiting for uninterrupted moments to do anything creative. I don’t think I’ll ever have an uninterrupted moment again so I better adapt. 
Funny thing, there was a recent announcement from Jason that included this book. I was like, hey, I was just talking about this!
You could duel him for it, maybe… 
Gah, it’s so well done I don’t think I would change much, if anything at all. I do remember feeling really uncomfortable with one Richard scene where he’s making fun of Lenore’s Xanax habit but I realize that was likely the point. When a character is being an ass, it’s okay to feel uncomfortable about what they’re saying.
If you ever wanted to write them, it would be really interesting for me, as a reader, to see different scenes from both Rich and Paul’s perspectives. I just love the dynamics of never truly knowing where Rich and Paul stood at any given moment. So, actually, maybe this isn’t a good idea, afterall.
The dichotomy of what they would say versus their actions always had me second guessing their intentions and motivations. It’s difficult trying to figure out when Paul is telling the truth and when he’s being manipulative but I also think he’s really good at mixing up the two so that lies end up becoming half-truths.
You’re welcome.
