    Making sure we engage the reader right up front is important. We only get one first impression, and that killer opening line will do more than even the best acknowledgment. I really like this!

    Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters.
    Every book has chapters. Every album has songs.
    Each chapter is different. Each song is different.

    The job of a writer is never done! Haha. So, the other day, my wife and I were talking about the front matter of books. She said that skips all the info (especially acknowledgements) because she just wants to get to the content of the book. I told her what I'd learned from watching your videos about front vs. back matter and how much sense it made! Pieces like the acknowledgements and about the author need to be in the back because you're more interested in it then. By the time you finish a book, you feel like you know the author more and will want to learn about them more. #booksdoneright #cmss #noboringbooks

    I guess I'm the rare reader that reads all of the extra stuff at the beginning of a book first. I don't read the stuff at the back of the book first though, because I assume it's put at the back of the book because it contains spoilers. In this day of, "Look Inside," I totally understand not putting it up front anymore.
    NOTE: Absolutely DO NOT read the Introduction in: The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause. That Introduction should have gone in the back of the book, as it disclosed a major spoiler that told what happened to one of the main characters at the end of the book. (I guess that was one time I shouldn't have read the stuff at the beginning of the book before reading the story. Live and learn.)
