Libba Bray - Writing a novel, a love story

THE FIRST DRAFT
I love this book. And it loves me. I never want to be without this book. Never, ever. What? Were you saying something? I'm sorry I can't hear you because my book just said the best thing ever.
...
THE REVISION, ON DEADLINE
F*@*#&ing book. I hate you. I wish I'd never met you. YOU MAKE MY LIFE HELL! HELL! I wish there were another word for hell but my thesaurus says there's not.

"I wish there were another word for hell but my thesaurus says there's not."

Then it's not a very good thesaurus. Try "Hades" to start with . . .

*laughs* If I didn't already love Libba to death for her brilliant books, that blog would have sold me. It's perfect.
