Table: The Factory vs Free Rein

Part of the challenge of the new intro has been so. many. words. I have a lot to say.  But at the same time, it needs to be snappy. I don't want to — can't, practically — cram everything in, but I also can't leave out the most important stuff.

The setup for the book is fairly complex.

But I think one of the keys here is that not everything has to be discoursive…

Not everything has to be sentence on sentence, paragraph on paragraph. I don't have to build a narrative case every time. I can use tables, charts, illustrations to get my points across.

I can dive into the bullet points later, expand on them later.

Like setting up a glossary of ideas — a table of contents for what's to come — rather than explicating and defending each individual element.

Here's a draft of the differences of working in the The Factory vs working on your own projects (Free Rein).
