I don't know how long it took us, but I would just show up at Alison's [McGhee] office. She would type and we'd just kick it back and forth. Writing is so scary for me, such a lonely endeavor, and it became a wonderful thing to show up and have somebody else go through it with me. It was actually a wonderful experience.](/assets/img/quote-photos/we-were-15-minutes-into-it-and-nothing-was-happening-i-thought-well-thats-not.jpg)
