Are you there, Andy? It's me, Act II
Me: Yeah. A little under medicated with the Adderall shortage, but hanging in there. Why do you ask?
Act II: Well, you haven't checked in with me in a while. And several chapters say you didn't do exit interviews.
Me: Oh! Right!
(Checks notes)
Me: 9, You have no content. We'll get to you in revisions.
10: Huh? I don't exist?
Me: Not you, sorry. I meant the new Chapter 9. You're 10 now.
10: Okay?
Me: 11, You took longer than I thought you would. That shouldn't have taken a whole chapter, but I guess it did.
11: Sorry?
Me: It's alright. You're pretty solid. Now, 12... Well, that ending was certainly ominous. Well played.
12: Thanks. I was trying.
Me: 13, your first scene is SO creepy! I love it. And your ending! Powerful stuff, 13.
13: Creepy is exactly what I was going for!
Me: 14, nice fallout from 13. And that pizza... Sounds truly awful. Nicely done.
14: Trying to make pizza sound gross was a challenge, for sure.
Me: 15, I like the exploration of Maggie's anxiety and her confusion about her own feelings. And you end with a nice lead for 16.
15: (nods silently)
Me: And as for you, 16.... Um, I don't have anything in the notes about you.
16: You haven't finished me yet.
Me: Oh. That explains that. Let's see about finishing you today.
16: Sounds good.
Me: So I think we're all caught up now, Act II. Would you agree?
Act II: Yes. But you really should eat lunch. It's already 2.
Me: But didn't I just do that?
Act II: that was yesterday.
Me: (sighs and grabs the peanut butter)
