You know I love Annest. I had no idea you'd gone through something so similar. That makes me feel empowered--and a little less crazy. :) Wow, that’s cool! You know I love Annest.

But ultimately worth it. I had to do much the same thing for Annest. The short story was honorable mention in WOTF, but as a framework for a novel, there was a lot that had to go.
