Yesterday, I took the working version of the Scrapbook Journaling chapter (for 2nd edition of Many Faces of Journaling) down to Kaldi’s, where with the help of a welcoming mug of Highland Grog coffee, I reexamined the order of chapter information with a fresh eye.
What a difference a small shift in placement can make! The paragraph about not crowding the text in a written scrapbook entry didn’t work at all in the “Kinds of Information” page. It needed to be in the “Getting the Right Look” section. Of course! That information is now comfortably nestled in among other specific suggestions on layout.
It’s good to remember that, when your text sounds awkward or choppy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that part should be deleted. Maybe it just needs to be moved to a different section or chapter.
Happy writing ~
Linda
