Seriously. I have been tearing my hear out on this YA project, working on it off and on for years. First it was going to be an adult book, then my brilliant agent said I should try it as a YA. Back and forth I went for months—years—trying to settle on which it would be. Well, about six months ago I finally decided on YA, and I've been plugging away ever since. I've been making steady progress, but something was missing from a number of scenes in the middle. They had to be there, and stuff happen
