First of all, I want to say, thank you if you're reading this. It either means you read the whole book which is crazy for me to think that what I'm excited about and put effort into you actually enjoyed(!) OR it means that you even opened this book in the first place(!)
Can I actually talk to you for a second, though? So I started this book because I got the inspiration to write a dialogue story but since then it became so much more to me. Honestly, this happens a lot. I write a book and then reflect and it's kind of like what happened to Jason. Like, a map into the inner working of my head. The book is this sort of hallucination that just danced straight out of my fingers and is now more complex and valid than I ever thought it could be.
I don't know, this book just me think. Like -
"You were the main character the whole time, Jason, you just didn't know it."
And the fact that as a writer, our books might be our Shelly's.
And letting go.
And our tendency to exclude ourselves from our version of reality because of how we view ourselves.
To be honest, I'm still kind of reeling. I didn't mean to write all of this. I didn't mean for it get so deep, so personal, but it did. And sitting here, at 2:35 in the morning, writing this Author's Note, I know that I'm letting go. I'm letting go of this story and marking it as complete. Maybe there will be a second book, maybe there won't. But I also know that I will come back, no matter how uncomfortable. Dissect it. And maybe get a map into the inner workings of my mind. It's a gift.
Please tell me what you think- comment, PM me, anything you want.
And thank you. I could never have gotten here without your encouragement.
Sending love and healing and thanks.
