Me: I’ve just had the most amazing epiphany, Ants!
Anthony: Pray tell.
Me: Well, I can’t be bothered. It’s too hard and emotional and nostalgic and I have better things to do.
Anthony: What are you talking about, Jules?
Me: The whole book idea, Ants. I’ve been putting this ridiculous pressure on myself to get together enough chapters of our imagined conversations into book form in order to submit for publication (which is a job in itself!) I’d rather just keep doing what I’m doing, just chatting with you like this.
Anthony: But what about the book? About me?
Me: Well, I hate to break it to you, Ants, but the book was also going to about me, and Ming, and my mother, and a whole lot of other people; it wasn’t just about you!
Anthony: Point taken. You want to move on, don’t you.
Me: Yes and no.

I love watching this evolve. I feel like I’m in on a secret!
Well said
