What really drives me nuts is when a character allows that they have to pee in the worst possible way and then the author drags on and on while you're thinking "will you for the sake of all that is holy please let your character pee."

I found this both insightful, funny, relatable, and entertaining 😂 so thank you. I'll have to consider the "potty talk" for any future works 🤔

Also the new novel in verse already sounds amazing. I'm very much looking forward to hearing more!

I cycled through eyebrow raises and snorts of laughter while reading this. BECAUSE, as a writer I always wonder why eating and toilet-time are sometimes NEVER mentioned in books. Did the author just forget? Did the editor find it irrelevant? They are part of the human condition!

Yes! Eating too! I wonder if it’s just not thought of? Or maybe it’s intentionally left out because of the risk of adding too much unnecessary (or undesirable) detail? But you’d think that these things would at least get a cursory mention now and then. Haha.
