Thank you. At first when we wrote, I could tell which bits I had contributed. But each of us gave one another permission to change, shape, and tinker with the parts we had written, and slowly it became better work, and harder for me to remember who had done what. You're right. There were hard moments. But communication, patience with one another, and a willingness to make it work carried the day. I think it was worth the effort.

I just meant that it’d qualify as torture. 😝

Currently I’m fairly sure that’d qualify as a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

Thanks, molly! It's great that you, the band director and your son got to have an impact on someone who may have really needed that affirmation. It's incredibly meaningful to have that. It's rare when something so simple really could save someone's life.

Thanks, Danilo. Yep ... another one taken care of, thanks to Jeremy. He tries hard for all of them. And one more chapter to go! I love the last chapter ... I hope you like it too!

That'd do it too.

I hope everybody enjoys this crazy ride. Also ... due to some ... persuasive messages, I decided to post the next chapter on Monday. *smiles nervously with all teeth showing*

Patrick had to go live with his aunt Carrie because he was completely unaccepted at home (Patrick likes girls). Carrie considered herself enlightened, and accepted that her niece was a lesbian. It was another thing to accept - that no, her niece was not a niece at all, but her nephew. She needed a bit more time, and a little push by Jeremy to try and stretch a bit more. Thank you for reading and commenting.

That's the idea. I had no clue name use mattered so much until I heard a presentation with the above link cited as their source. It was powerful, eye-opening, and made me try really hard to do the right thing as often as I could for our trans patients and friends. Thank you for reading and commenting! 🙂

July 20 (Friday, 9:14 a.m.) Jeremy's phone rang while he was between patients, and he looked at the number. Smiling, he answered. "Hey, Patrick. You ready to camp this weekend?" There was a muffled sob on the other end of the line. "I … I just wanted to call. I'm not gonna be able to go, Mr. Adams. Aunt Carrie isn't going to let me. She found my change of clothes I was going to bring, and I had to tell her that I always wear boys' clothes when I go camping." Jeremy's heart sank.

There are parts of this that we wrote where I was paralyzed with laughter. Maybe I have a messed up sense of humor (okay, I do), but I do think there are some very funny moments in this story. The whole premise lends itself well to hilarity, and I hope others feel we managed to pull off something fun and worth a laugh. Your boy is really talented, Mike. It was a pleasure to write with him.

It was such a fun process writing this with tim. Mike said that tim laughed a lot when we were collaborating and so did I. It was work but also great fun. Collaboration means you really have to leave your ego behind (tim first said that to me early into our process, and it's really true). You have to accept that maybe your brilliant idea just won't work in the scene your partner wrote, or in the story at all. It was an exercise in give and take, and I really do like the end result.

Thanks, Parker. Man, there's so much more coming. This is a relatively short story, but there's a lot packed into it. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Ah, the glorious interaction of characters. That's coming - even more than we've seen so far. Those first few weeks of getting to know each other will be fun and an adjustment for them both. Thanks for reading and for the comment!

Thanks, Chris! It's gonna be a great time.
-
Thanks, Tom! I can't wait until chapter two ... A wise man said, "High speed trains start slow" But, just wait for it. 😄
-
God, you have NO idea. This first chapter doesn't do the name justice at all. Just ... WAIT.

There are a few meta things here. Frank and Ben share some characteristics with us. Mainly, I wrote Frank, and mainly tim wrote Ben. It helped make them different. But, they’re their own messed up selves. I wouldn’t want to wish my dysfunction on poor Frank. He has enough to handle!

You don't. You have inside access to one of the authors. Oh ... that statement works a couple of ways. lol
