ABSTRACT
It is difficult to imagine how one could avoid feeling self-conscious when writing a chapter about techniques to improve the writing of chapters. Indeed, without discipline and willpower, one could easily become so inhibited that the chapter would never be written. An easy escape from such an embarrassment would be an early disclaimer stating that all ideas on the improvement of chapter writing are tentative; that because the ideas are in the formative stage no attempt will be made to practice what is preached. In that way, immediate evaluation of the effectiveness of the suggestions is precluded.
