Page 97 of The End of Me
FinnG: I’m currently studying business to take over his company.
PCoop: But you write in your spare time, am I correct?
FinnG: Yes.
PCoop: Do you sleep?
FinnG: It’s hard.
PCoop: Try Relaxtune. I’ll keep saying it until you start using it.
FinnG: Does it help you go to sleep?
PCoop: What?
FinnG: The app, does it help you?
PCoop: I don’t use it.
FinnG: Why do you recommend it if you can’t vouch for it?
PCoop: Oh, I know the makers of the app. I don’t use it because I can sleep without it.
FinnG: What’s your secret?
PCoop: Place my head on the pillow and close my eyes. Have you tried it?
FinnG: Ha, that’s not a funny joke.
PCoop: Your proposal intrigues me. However, I want us to get through the first project before we add more.
FinnG: Why?
PCoop: It seems like this is a hobby for you. What if you decide to stop halfway through writing the books and never publish more?
FinnG: Why would I do that?
PCoop: Because you found something better.
FinnG: I like writing.
PCoop: Can we focus on the thrillers for now?
FinnG: But this is a great idea.
PCoop: Yes, and we can develop it together once we know you have the bandwidth to continue.
FinnG: YOU DON’T KNOW ME.
PCoop: Don’t send me shouty caps, Finn. I understand you’re angry and also that I don’t know you. However, you have to put yourself in my shoes. I have this new author who types fast and has great ideas but is still trying to decide what to do with his life.
PCoop: If I give you the green light and you leave me hanging, I’ll have a bunch of upset readers demanding something you might not be willing to provide them with.
FinnG: How many books from the thriller do you need to give me a chance?
PCoop: Why don’t we start with the revisions?
FinnG: Revisions?
