Jessica, I read your blog on Caroline's site, and it made me smile. I still try to do edge pieces first, but; also end up of with small sections here & there as you described. Looking forward to your 2nd book somewhere down the road, I hope you enjoy putting your next puzzle together. :-)

Jessica, I love your analogy, comparing the process of writing a book to a jigsaw puzzle. I also love these quotes: "Writing a novel (and doing it well) simply takes as long as it takes." and "If you're inspired to write a scene other than the one that comes next in your manuscript, go for it. You can put the story in the right order later."
