All Night Awake (Original Version)
One of the frequent questions Iām asked is about how a novel changes from the time the first glimmering of an idea is formed to when it finally appears in print. So, to give everyone an idea of just what can happen, here is the version of All Night Awake as I first submitted it. There are, as you will see, a number of changes ā some of which I made kicking and screaming and tearing my hair out ā between this and the final version.
