Original practice · Optional exercise · A collection worth returning to
Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.
- Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An undated collection leaves readers unsure when a piece belongs.
- Give every piece a clear publication date and a stable place in the collection.
- Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
- Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
