Goodreads asked Bud Shaw:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Bud Shaw I began writing essays about my experiences and before long I had a collection that attracted the attention of agents and publishers. Then I had to figure out how to rewrite everything and write a lot more in order to create a book with a reasonable story arc. Some readers are put off by the lack of a linear time structure. Others have found a more satisfying arc, "dramatically punctuated by the final chapter" as one fan claimed.
