No, not at all. Yeah. And I couldn't stop thinking about her. And I thought about her for like weeks and weeks. And I kept like, like all the things that I had pushed down in myself in order to get to where I was like at that moment in my life. Seeing that girl made it all bubble to the surface.

And for years, like in my writing classes and my friends, you know, they would see my scars and they're like, you should write about that. And I was like, oh, no, no, no. No one wants to hear about that. But I couldn't stop thinking about her. And I thought, you know, I'll write about it because that's what I do. And what I've always done when something is like difficult, like I write about it.

I'm a big journaler. But it felt like it was really too big for like one poem. Or even like three. And I thought, well, no one's going to read this anyway. And I don't know how to write a novel. But when you're a writer, it shouldn't really matter. If you don't know how to do something, you just try. Like who really knows how to write a novel? Like, I've learned now that every novel is different.

And every time I start writing a book, I don't know how to write that book until it tells me how to write it. And I just started writing. And I wrote for nine years. And there were 13... Because no one was going to read it. It was just for me. Like, who was going to read a story about this girl who self-harms? Right? So you didn't have intentions to publish the book? No. No. It was only for me.

And I was in a really... I was in a really great bubble writing it because it was really bringing out all these thoughts and feelings that I hadn't wanted to think about for a very long time. And during that process of drafting the book, which ended up having like 13 drafts total. First, my sister died, which was five days after my first child was born, which is like a whole other thing.

And then my mother died. And I didn't write for a year. After my mother died. Like I just could not, like I could not. And then one morning I went back to the draft and I realized that what was wrong with the book, which was called at that point, The Tender Kit, was that I still wasn't talking about what I should be talking about.

And I had given Charlie in those drafts a supportive family and a supportive best friend. And everything that happened with Riley had happened before the events that started the draft. And in that moment with, like, my mother gone and my sister gone, I was an open wound. And I felt orphaned and alone in the world.
