Photo by author; Observation and Patience (keywords). As photographers and writers, we search through barriers to find words of thought (food for thought if you’re a quail in winter).

Since 1989, I have searched for a better way to understand the meaning of paragraphs. Words have meaning, but not all paragraphs clearly tell the readers a relevant path of words.

I found the best way for me to see a pattern in a story or textbook is to highlight keywords and phrases.

Keys to subtitles

Your challenge to finding key phrases in paragraphs;

(1) Find and highlight the key phrases or keywords in your paragraphs that pinpoint the meaning under each subtitle.

(2) Then, arrange each highlighted phrase to create a better subtitle.

(3) Replace your original subtitle with your new subtitle for that section.

(4) Arrange the subtitle for highlighted key phrases in each section for a road map of words in your subtitle.

(5) Use the sequence of highlighted wording in your new subtitle to guide the reader paragraph by paragraph. A user-friendly path in your storytelling. ]

(6) Edit the sequence of key phrases for an easy flow of your story, if your first arrangement doesn’t feel right.

Experiment with the flow of your storytelling. I need to every day.
