The working outlines for the 2 new MFJ2 (Many Faces of Journaling 2nd Edition) chapters are shaping up well. The "Green Journaling" chapter will include sections on journaling your personal green progress, environmentally healthy journaling, chronicling the forward (and backwards) steps in our communities (nations/world), and observations and commentaries on community and world progress in both large and small ways, including reflections on various news stories.
Fortunately, I’ve been saving such articles from the Post-Dispatch and from MSNBC.com and have both encouraging and depressing news bits, including the unexpected speed at which the effects of global warming are coming at us right now—far ahead of predictions!
I also outlined the "Scrapbook Journaling" chapter. That will have subsections on what kinds of information to include, tight writing for maximum effect, and the art of including such written pieces in the scrapbook.
Having these outlines – primitive though they are – makes me feel more in control of the whole 2nd edition process. They are the framework upon which I shall think and build.
As I’ve taught many times, the book business is all about planning!
