Getting close to the end of the process

As I start one new WIP, I am finishing another. It is a novel I began a very long time ago. It is hugely gratifying to finish (and humbling, too. Apparently, I am not so good at knowing when paragraphs begin and end!)

Each new project offers new challenges, new discoveries, new obstacles. This one began with HANDS. (Thank you to Judy Blume for posting this awesome pic!) This story taught me about yearning…and heart….and not so likeable protagonists….and subplot. It also taught me that I can write from a synopsis!

What did YOU learn from your last manuscript?
