I just noticed the strangest connection between my novel and real life. Although I'm in the middle of writing, it struck me so hard I had to stop and blog it. Dylan and Raqi meet in the club, talk a little bit, and don't really become friends until the day that Dylan teaches Raqi to throw knives. Raqi is startled to find out that Dylan always carries her knife.
In real life: Craig and I meet in the club, talk a little bit, and don't really become friends until the day that Craig teaches me to shoot a handgun. I'm startled to find out that Craig always carries his gun.
The strangest part is that I developed the character of Raqi and her associated events and interactions with Dylan before I met Craig.
