One day, June 7th 2020 to be exact, I was driving around and a song came on titled I Hope You’re Happy Now. The lyrics that stood out to me were, “I don’t know why it’s called a goodbye.” I thought that maybe I could write a book about why it IS a GOODbye.

Teenage emails. What was your first email address? Mine was lil_qt_wit_a_booty And the internet was newish, and I was up in chat rooms talking to boys, who I hope were boys.

It was 2016
It was 2016, back before Ginger Devil was a book. I started writing down names for characters for a book idea. I never thought I’d actually write it. In the picture attached are some of the early names. A lot of them didn’t make it into the book at all. (Like the weird attachment IContinue reading “It was 2016”
