I rewrote the ending of my book because one of my characters complained (rather loudly), and refused to do what I asked. That's one of the most fun parts of writing -- getting inside someone else's head, even if they are fictional.Nickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509263760472428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690071068685176270.post-33276897245984613312013-02-13T15:16:03.580-07:002013-02-13T15:16:03.580-07:00I especially like the part about seeing how far yo...I especially like the part about seeing how far you've come and how much you've learned since the first draft.

Especially the bit about looking back and seeing how far we've come--proof that, even though we don't always realise it, everything we're doing is working.
