Five Things I've Learned from my Work-in-Progress

1. It's hard to find a setting without some form of modern technology.

2. Mom was right -- those blue berries on the plants we saw on nature walks when I was a kid? Not edible.

3. Telling a story from the point of view of 2 characters (alternating chapters)  puts constraints on the plot that I didn't expect.

4. I need to come up with more creative ways to show the passage of time.

5. There are not enough synonyms for the word "look".
