crazy I was like in a trance writing this and you know and actually when I even was recounting to you there about seeing my reflection in the mirror yeah that happens to my character in the book it does so now that also wasn't deliberate you know but when I wrote it I was in a trance and I wasn't like it was actually really weird I'd write it and then go right time for dinner

like there was no like this is so hard yeah it was only afterwards when I started editing the book yeah and reading back I was like wait did I write that yeah and that was strange and that was a bit confronting um even then I was like okay

And then we started talking six, you start your publicity chat six months before publication.

And then we started, you know, what things might people ask?

And it was like, well, they're gonna ask.

Yeah.

And that's when I was like, oh, no.

But actually, it's been very cathartic.

I'm just apologizing to everyone, including you, because I have tears in my eyes.

But like anyone who I've cried in front of, because it's loads of people.

It is like, it definitely is.

It's tiring kind of, but at the same time,

It's everything I ever wanted was to have a publicity campaign for a book that's coming out for a novel.

And I've worked so hard on this book.

Like I imagine it like an accordion that we've taken it apart.

We put it back together and we're taking it apart because this is insane.

When the first version of it had like nine timelines, like that's ridiculous.

It is so ridiculous.

It's a lot.

Like no one's going to read nine funny timelines.
