A mind-map of topics
Added 2021-02-15 03:46:45 +0000 UTCHi patrons!
Sorry it's been a while since I posted an update here. There isn't a lot to report, because I'm not really planning to make any new videos and I don't have any new material to post on the website. Really my focus (in the spare time that I'm able to devote to it) is on writing the book.
Before an update, first let me take a moment of gratitude to all my patrons who are contributing month after month. Your patronage is allowing me to cover server hosting costs for all the stuff on ianring.com, so it can remain online for the world to enjoy. THANK YOU!
I've had a work-in-progress table of contents that roughly divided the book into sections, and I was okay with it as a draft plan, but it was becoming difficult to keep track of dependencies. By that I mean, a reader would need to learn A before they could understand B, or it would be useful for the concept B to be explained before proceeding to C.
So to organize all that, I made what's called a "mind-map" which you can see as the attachment to this post. In doing so I found that most of the separation of chapters I had before was pretty good, but there are some things that were in the wrong place, or were better put along with other content... basically it's a reorganization of topics and now I feel like the structure of the book is very solid.
I hope you're staying well.
Sincerely,
Ian
