You wouldn't believe the noise some of these characters create in my head.
I think that's why most authors write. There are stories there that just have to be told. It doesn't matter if it's fiction, poetry, autobiographical or anything else. Pretty sure it holds true for any art, music, painting, sculpting.... if it's within you, the need to create can sometimes be overwhelming.
That's exactly what happened with this story, Elijah and the rest of the characters wouldn't leave me alone. I literally wrote 40 chapters in 4 months. To me, that's insane. Not sure if I'll ever do it again. @Mrsgnomie 's second boyfriend, Caleb, is being quiet right now. Probably because I've been so busy with moving and editing/posting. I'm sure he'll start chattering soon!
