Sawyer (Mel's daughter)

She cannot make a decision. She is all over the place. And you cannot contain her in structure. She wants to creative write for... I don't even know how you got your other two books done, to be completely honest.

She would love to creative write every single day for the rest of time. She wants no boundaries, no structure. She pretty much writes the same thing 20 times in a row. And it sucks. And then I come in and all I want to do is, what is the organization? What is the structure? Give me the table of contents. Give me the outline. And I would literally set up

outlines for her, write this sentence here, write this, this here, write this. And the amount, you should see our Google Drive. It is like 5,000 different documents because it is me creating structure, Mel not writing, mom not writing in it. And then her creating a whole separate document where she chooses to write everything. And then coming back to me and then we come back together.

It was both of our brains... do not work well together. And so the entire time I was trying to control her and she was trying to basically run away from me. And so every single day, it would start off with us just saying let them every single time. I really had to let go of my need to put this into a structure and come up with the main points and summarize it and...

just work in order of chapters. Meanwhile, we are all over the place and creative writing and we're doing this and then we're scrapping this. We literally went through 11 manuscripts. And when I say 11 manuscripts, it's not a sentence change. It is a scrap the entire thing and rewrite from page zero the entire manuscript, 11 of them in the last year. All of which I said, I think we're good here.

But I literally had to say let them every single time. And so that's about 12, 12 p.m. when we start getting hangry and annoyed. And then we eat because we both notice that we're starting to get snippy and on edge with each other. And then comes the afternoon where... It can go one of two ways. Mostly one way, which is blow up fight, crying. You don't listen to me. You don't do this.
