There was some scratching, biting, hair-pulling...nah. None of that, maybe a few tears as we "killed our darlings" as writers must.
No, it was straight-up, honest, sometimes difficult assessments of each other's words in the service of the stories in our hearts. A priceless exchange for which I will be forever grateful.
Now, Dee Mallon's debut novel, "The Weight of Cloth" will be available September 5, 2024. You can preorder it now.
I was on a plane with a sheaf of her printed pages, red pen in hand, intent on the work. As I turned the page over, the stranger sitting next to me said, "Wait. I didn't finish. It's really good." He was right.
Be proud and joyful, Dee! I'll let you read more about it in her words.
