And I didn't realize until after I finished the book. in like the first few drafts that in the character of her half sister, I was really like trying to bring my own sister back because that character has some of the same, um, Beautiful, like kind, loving and freewheeling traits that my sister had.

Like I lived with my sister for a little bit when I was a teen when things were not going well for me. And it was very much like, you know, we're just having ho-hos for dinner tonight. And Tiger's like, wait, that's not a reel. That's not a dinner. It's like, yes, it is. And we're just going to watch TV. You know, and I gave her some of those things.

And then I did realize after I finished that, I'm like, am I trying to bring my sister Weezy back somehow? Am I trying to immortalize her? And I think that I did.

Oh, she was all... She was, like, great with that. There was a moment early on where I turned in this draft that... Because when Girl in Pieces came out, like, I was really kind of...

overwhelmed by the reaction to it and a lot of people loved it but everyone was saying oh my god this book is so sad and this book is so traumatic and it's like I lived with self-harm and I've lived with a lot of other things in my life that are really sad and traumatic They seem normal to me. Do you know what I mean? You just get used to them. You're like, this is how my life was.

And so I developed a self-defense mechanism, which a lot of people do. And this is why I love my recovery group, because everyone has a very dark sense of humor about the things that they've gone through. And you can joke about it with each other. So I was very... I was very overwhelmed by that. And I was like, people think this is so sad. Maybe I should not write such a sad book.

So I had turned in this draft of How to Make Friends with the Dark to my editor. And she was like, OK, great. I'm going to read through this. And then she went on this like month long vacation. And while she was gone, I was like, you know, maybe I should rewrite this and I should make it funnier. Cause like grief can be really funny when you think about it. Like, Oh my God, you're dead.
