I thought y'all might enjoy seeing the chapter sub-headings for Murder by the Acre. They're all in place now.
Chapter One - Murder in a hobbit house
Chapter Two - Strange reactions
Chapter Three - What we can't take back
Chapter Four - Confrontations & surprises
Chapter Five - Funny things about funerals
Chapter Six - Missing things
Chapter Seven - What to do with pieces that don't fit
Chapter Eight - Secrets people keep
Chapter Nine - Never argue with a crazy person
I'm sure about these, other than Chapter Six. It lacks something. We'll see if I can come up with anything better.
I've read -- and been told -- that chapter headings are old-fashioned and simply "not done" anymore. I like them so I'm going to use them. That's the advantage of self-publishing: I decide how the book is going to look.
I'm on Chapter Five of the so-called "final" type-in. I should finish it tonight. Barring unforeseen difficulties, the FTI should be done this weekend. I'm putting my proofreaders on yellow alert. They should receive a PDF of MBTA on Monday or Tuesday next week. At present, my proofers are: Crystal, ETC, Frenzied Feline, Jean, Kirsten, and Nancy. If any of y'all are unable to committ to proofing MBTA in a week, I totally understand -- we all live busy, busy, busy lives -- but please let me know ASAP so that I can recruit another victim to take your place.
Nothing else to add here other than it's scorching hot. Triple-digit temps. Oh, and I went back on Weight Watchers this morning. More on my weight loss plans later. I hope life is treating you well. Talk to you tomorrow.

Hey! I started WW this morning too!
You can be my weight loss buddy :)
Enjoy that pool...
One week = no problem.
Am rather fond of chapter titles, myself, especially clever ones. Just last night started a book that's comprised of very short (a few pages, tops) segments, each with a heading.
Cool, Michelle! Two great minds with a single thought! :)
Thanks for letting me know about the proofing, Kirsten! I like chapter titles, also. Let's me know the author knows where we're going.
I'll be upset if you don't send me the book to proof.

Crystal darlin', like I would ever forget you!
I'm still at SparkPeople and really like the site. WW is just as good or better but costs more.
Of course, I'm confirming as a proofer. Sorry. I didn't check the web after late afternoon yesterday, so I missed the post.
I think those chapter headings sound very interesting, particularly the one for Chapter Nine! :)
