> Congratulations on finishing the book! What an accomplishment, especially with everything else that's going on!
Thanks! Well, it’s taken me a very long time, but the publisher is pleased that I’ve finally finished. I’m not so sure. I’m terrified that people will read it and think it’s awful…
> I'm not sure what to say about your 18-year-old...
Can I ask you a question? You don’t have to answer…
I just wondered whether you’re not sure what to say because you find my talk of an inner 18 year-old a bit weird, or whether it’s because you don’t identify with her problems, or maybe something else?I just wondered if it’s the first thing, because I know my husband feels uneasy about the idea. It’s as if he doesn’t know quite what I mean by it and doesn’t want to encourage me to think weird thoughts. I can certainly understand why he feels that way and I’m fine with that. It isn’t part of his experience and it doesn’t make sense to him, and that’s fine.
Anyway, I was vaguely curious about whether you’re coming from a similar place. Of course, you don’t have to answer my questions, and any answer you might choose to give will be absolutely OK.
