Writing Book 5 · Lesson 1

Page setup, checked once

Heading, margin and three-level notes are now habit, checked once and not taught again.

What it is

Before you write anything else, set the page up and check it once. Doing it in the same order every time means it becomes automatic, and a page that is set up wrong cannot be fixed later without copying the whole thing out again.

Remember
Set it up, then check it once, before anything else.
Ask yourself: “Is my page ready before I begin?”

Remember

Set it up once; it should cost you nothing.
