“Writing is so hard.... The first draft writing is so hard that sometimes in the beginning, before the work itself takes over, carrying you on its flood, you must give yourself rewards. "When I write this chapter, I can call my boyfriend." "When I finish one page more, I can get an ice cream cone." "If I write this section, I'll find a check in the mail."” IfsGivingWritingFirstsI CanSometimesHardPagesRewardsChecksIceMailChaptersFloodCreamSectionsIce CreamMy BoyfriendConesIce Cream Cones Author:Sophy Burnham
“[as for evolution]....cutting out the sections [on the subject] is preferrable if the portions are not thick enough to cause damage to the spine of the book as it is opened and closed in normal use. When the sections needing correction are too thick, paste the pages together being careful not to smear portions of the book not intended for correction.” IfsBookEnoughUseTogetherCausesCuttingSubjectsEvolutionNormalPagesCarefulDamagePortionsThickAgnosticSectionsSpineCorrections Author:George R.

“I suspect that relatively few people will sit down and read 1250 pages [ of The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures.] all the way through from cover to cover. There may be some, but not everybody. But there are many, many, many different Christian, theological, pastoral, specialisms that are covered by one section or another of the book and this will become, therefore, a resource volume for many people.” PeopleWayMayBookDifferentChristianAuthorityPagesResourcesDown AndEndureScriptureSuspectsCoveredVolumeSectionsTheological Author:D.
