Great point about this, Antoine. Thank you for sharing it and helping to move this along.

I agree with the re-writing, and as I have never done a long piece of writing such as this before, I am not clear how much re-writing will be needed. Zerubavel speaks about re-writing being part of the writing process, with his concept of “writing” including 4 full versions, with re-writing and writing so linked they are not distinguished much. With this in mind, I tended to lump them together.

I suppose until I actually begin that formal part of the process, I may not know how I work to see if I should separate.

Let me play with this a bit today, and see where the revision leads me . . .

Thanks for pushing my thinking along!
