Thanks! :) I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment from all the catching up. lol

mare:
It's time to read the next set of chapters so let's read chapters 17 - 24 this week.

Here are a few more questions for you Rachel :)

1) Do you have personal experience with divorce? How did you pull the emotion needed to write this set of chapters especially dealing with the kids and their reactions?

2) What is your favorite thing about this set of chapters?

3) Did you ever consider Ashton having an affair with one of the other guys?

1)   Do you have personal experience with divorce? How did you pull the emotion needed to write this set of chapters especially dealing with the kids and their reactions?

I come from a divorced family. My parents were very open and communicated to me and my siblings about the divorce just like Nick and Ashton were with their kids. I was a little older than Nick’s kids in the story. Rachel is a very easy going child and five years old, so I knew she would take it easier.  Jackson is a sensitive child, so I had him react to the divorce with more emotions. While I was writing this my brother was going through a divorce, it was something that was playing in my mind.

2)What is your favorite thing about this set of chapters?

I went back and read those chapters again. I can’t believe how much drama is in this set of chapters.  My favorite thing about these chapters is that so many changes occur in such a short time.  It starts with telling the kids about divorce and ends with them kissing and discussing the letter. It is the turning point of Nick and Ashton’s relationship. If Ashton didn’t get hurt they wouldn’t be willing to work on their relationship. It forced them to do it. Both Nick and Ashton were skirting around the issues. Divorce would be easier than facing the truth.

3)   Did you ever consider Ashton having an affair with one of the other guys?

I didn’t consider her having an affair with one of the other guys while she was married to Nick. When Nick talked to her about dating other people, I almost was going to have her date AJ. It wouldn’t have turned into a relationship because Ashton and AJ are good friends. It would have almost been a source of comfort instead of anything romantic or sexual.

Ola! Time to read the next set of chapters. Let's read chapters 25 - 30 this week.

Rachel, what can everyone expect in this next set of chapters?

If you could write another story (Like a spin off) based on one of the characters in this story, who would be the lead and why?

What would you consider to be the biggest plot twist in this story?

In these chapters, Nick is taking care of Ashton. They are working on their problems. Ashton and Nick are either making love or not getting along. They have so many emotions that it clouds their view of what is the real issue of their marriage problems. She confronts him about sleeping with another woman while they were separated. Towards the end of this set of chapters Ashton is starting to feel sick and ends up going to the doctor. Nick and Ashton decide not to divorce and that it’s time to bring the kids’ home.

If you could write another story (Like a spin off) based on one of the characters in this story, who would be the lead and why?
As soon, as I read this question…AJ came to mind. I haven’t written a story about him yet. I think it would be fun to write a story about his relationship with Arizona. In my mind, their relationship is unique from other couples. Now I might have to start writing that story.

What would you consider to be the biggest plot twist in this story?
This is where everything changes for Nick and Ashton. For most of the story they aren’t getting along. Now, they don’t have a choice. They both have to face their demons and find a way to move on.
