![]() ![]() In retrospect, I realize that this process motivated me. In the moment, I wasn’t sharing my draft to create accountability for myself I was sharing it because it was fun to essentially write a novel text by text. I texted them to my friend one by one as I wrote them. The book consists of fairly short chapters now, but in my first draft, the chapters were even shorter. I wrote the first draft of Spin with Me a few summers ago. This works for me I don’t do well when I spend too much time in my head.

Was there anything different you noticed about the process of writing Spin With Me? Welcome, Ami! What can you share about your “inner” journey as you write?

How does it work?" ![]() We love your first copy but we're concerned about this Aether thing. ![]() I can just imagine how her meeting with the editor went: Mostly I'm just impressed with Rossi because she clearly is a badass. It wasn't a perfect novel but I feel that it achieved what it was meant to and that was inspiring me to invest in Aria and Perry's story. The writing is fair enough and I felt that it was reasonably tight and serviceable. The world building is fascinating and vivid, yet simplistic enough for most audiences to grasp reasonably well. There's a lot to like about Rossi's futuristic science-fiction novel. eventually, the main characters, Aria and Perry, are what stacked it back to being a great read. It could either land back on solid ground or go toppling off into the deep end. This book was teetering on a precipice for me. If you said they're both Holden Caulfield then you get the gold star.
