Dearest Pre-Orderers, 

 Well, it's done (for the moment). 

 We completed the second draft of the book, transcribed it onto construction paper with crayons, put it in a small row boat, and sent it to our publisher. That may sound strange, but that is what the publisher requested. The publishing industry is weird. 

 But, with the completion of this draft, we can announce the winner of our "Pre-order the Book and Get a Character Named After You" contest! 

Since our story is told from the perspective of both a guy and a girl, we decided to draw both a guy and a girl. 

 The winners, to be immortalized in literature FOREVER, are: JONDA ROBINSON and GEORGE BROWN Congrats to the two of you. We hope you enjoy the cameos your names make in the book. Don't worry, all of you who bought the Advanced Student options will have your names listed in the back of the book still. 

 We'll be posting a new chapter (from Davey's perspective this time) to help satiate what we're sure is a drastic thirst for the story. For now, Noa is going to start drinking and Nick is going to start shoving Donettes in his mouth at an alarming rate. Hopefully we'll both be recovered in time to completely rewrite the book after the editor tells us we should change everything. 

Yours truly, madly, deeply, Nick & Noa
