Katy, these changes sound like just the right thing! I’m so glad you’re finding ways to put the puzzle together that make it fun for you. Cheering you on! 👏🏼

Thanks, Rachel! It is forever an encouragement to have you in my corner. You come to mind a lot when I write.

I’m so excited to read it! It’s going to be a wonderful book, but I will deeply treasure that it comes from the voice of a friend. 🥰

I do think it's true that "nobody wants a floppy dummy." The book sounds exciting!

All sounds great, Katy! What was the murder mystery puzzle? I bet my family would love that!

Pete is such a good editor. I relate to this process so much because it's very similar to how I worked on the L'Abri documentary! For months and months, I had sticky notes up on my wall representing each sequence and it was just a matter of ordering them in the way that made the most narrative sense. It required so many watches and rewatches to feel it out, but the reward when I found it was really like finishing a puzzle. It gave me a greater appreciation for the Gospels, and the way that they each use the "documentary material" of Christ's life but arrange it in different orders to make different points and highlight different emphasis; so much of art is just remixing and rearranging rather than completely creating from scratch.
