The Whispering House certainly was a cathartic experience. Hieroglyphs wasn't that way, so much, as it was eye-opening. I came up with the plot, was writing it before I did the research, and then discovered that much of what I was writing was historically accurate. I imagine many of us have had that experience.<br /><br />Like you, I often struggle toward the end of the story, which is where I am now.

Remembering how I felt and what I thought helps not only with my writing but makes me realize how far I've come and what I've achieved.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036377731176791522.post-88372473542756165572018-06-23T20:17:48.554-04:002018-06-23T20:17:48.554-04:00Great point - that writing often teaches us things...Great point - that writing often teaches us things. Often they are things we didn't even know we needed to learn. Perhaps it's our subconscious helping us to grow stronger, kinder, better, etc. Skyewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938351117986167519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036377731176791522.post-11885709711098150892018-06-23T12:59:11.983-04:002018-06-23T12:59:11.983-04:00I'm glad you mentioned how writing helps you b...I'm glad you mentioned how writing helps you because I don't think many people know how much writing does help a person grow.

My current WIP is completely in a young boy's POV, which is an effort to understand the machinations of my own son's brain. It's been difficult but illuminating.
