I wrote for 20 minutes tonight. It was a smaller chunk, and I spent it typing up tonight vs handwriting. I’ve had this scene in my brain for the past few days (two days, maybe), between Jack and Poe, and it was a rough scene to write!

But tonight I think I nailed it! I had the direction, and it flowed beautifully. It’s deeper and more to it, and I realized with Jack’s words, that throws it back to something he said to Valerie in the beginning. I think it also shows how he has changed, and grown, as a man, a human being.

I look forward to bringing Poe into it more in book 2, seeing her grow/flourish more, and parts of her story and life unfolding into a beautiful one. 🙂

As I was thinking of what to name this blog, the song “Hard Times” by Paramore came to me, I think from the hard time of writing this scene. 🙂
