Same Thing Over Here. Regret (or Worse). Ack!

(2) There’s something in here that, depending on your general disposition, might make you mad. Well, maddish. This is my second book with the awesome folks at Rocky Nook, so I might be reaching a new audience (perhaps this is the first book of mine you’ve purchased, but I hope that’s not the case because my son is going to an out-of-state college, and it’s crazy expensive, so it’d really help with his tuition if you bought, I dunno, at least six or 22 of my previous books). Anyway, I do this thing that either delights readers or makes them spontaneously burst into flames of anger, but it has been a tradition, so now it’s a “thing” I can’t get out of: how I write the chapter intros. In a normal book, they would give you some insight into what’s coming in the chapter. But, mine . . . um . . . well, they don’t. Honestly, they have little, if anything, to do with what’s in the chapter, as I’ve designed them to simply be a “mental break” between chapters, and these quirky, rambling intros have become a trademark of mine. Luckily, I’ve relegated the “crazy stuff” to just those intro pages—the rest of the book is pretty regular, with me telling you how to do things just like I would tell a friend sitting beside me. But, I had to warn you about these, just in case you’re a Mr. Grumpypants and all serious. If that sounds like you, I’m begging you, please skip the chapter intros—they’ll just get on your nerves, and then you’ll write me a letter to tell me how the book was “unreadable” because of those few pages, and you’ll mention my mother, my upbringing, etc. So, read them at your own risk. Okay, that’s pretty much it. You’re now fully certified and cross-checked (flight attendant lingo) to use this book and I really hope you find it helpful in your Photoshop journey.
