It's been a while. But I need to wax poetic.
Jon and I were lying in bed reading the other night, totally silent, when I spouted off my apparently very important beliefs on chapter titles. I HATE chapters that have titles. It drives me nuts! I read the title and think, "I have to remember this so that I can remember to find the connection while I'm reading the chapter." And then I'm distracted for the first few paragraphs. And then I just forget the title altogether. And then I get to the next chapter and think, "Shoot! I forgot to look for the connection! Maybe I should go back and find it . . . No, that's silly. Move on."
And I start all over.
If I ever write a book, I will number the chapters.
