Now I stick to chapters but admit I have to keep rearranging them.

I guess I had it fixed in my mind that that's how it should look.<br /><br />Stephen, I like hearing how others go about it too.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-52423720024847702392016-09-23T15:29:52.142-07:002016-09-23T15:29:52.142-07:00It's fascinating learning how other writers wo...It's fascinating learning how other writers work.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-36334976459458317232016-09-23T06:47:00.168-07:002016-09-23T06:47:00.168-07:00Wow, you are so detailed.
