Dear Self,

Next time you create a page design for a book of poems, try harder (and I mean, really try, ok?) to remember that some of your poems have really long titles. Thus, a design that leaves only one line for the poem title will not be adequate and when you go to put your book together there will be overset and the only option will be to start crying.

Yes, the pages with short titles look really great. Lovely, lovely designing. But those longer titles are causing problems. And you now have to redesign the page. And you have no idea what to do because either your margins are smaller or the amount of space the poem itself occupies on the page is smaller. Either way, it's not pretty. But, you wrote the long titles so you really can't blame anyone but yourself.

Also, the blue book cover isn't so bad now that it's revised. Try not to hate it just because it is the color of water. You like water, remember?

And one other thing, you will somehow make it all work, and it will be beautiful.

Love,
Yourself
