As if I didn't knew I'd have a ton of sleepiness nights ahead of me, I decided to use my 14 weeks of paternity leave (thanks, Google!) for a personal project. Out of my usual comfort zone it was supposed to be, something different from my day to day work as a software engineer. I like reading, in particular thrillers, so hey why not try that myself? The idea of writing a novel was born. And like any other project, it needed prepar
