Yes! And why is this not more wide-spread? I had my 5th graders using this concept 35 years ago, and it’s the basis for lots of writing, and in my mind, especially picture books, including most of mine. Thanks for the reminder we can use it in all our writing. Glad to discover you here!

Deb - thanks for the kind words. The problem as I see it is that we all think - and we do it all the time. So do we need to change or improve it? Of course we do! Imagine the benefits for society as a whole if a task everyone does all the time was just done marginally better...
