Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for perspective.
A few weeks ago, one of my teenagers wanted to spend the day “body-doubling” at the library to make progress on the last of her eighth grade school work. I took the opportunity to get my own stack of tasks done, but not before I stepped inside to grab a book that one of my authors referenced as a complementary title. While scanning the numbers and titles to find that book, I paused on one with a rainbow gradient on the spine, not unlike the design I’d just created for my Clarity Spectrum work-in-progress.
The book is called Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern, and the topic of color was way too timely to ignore.
- The metaphor of color as applied to writing
- The obviousness of our own perspective and how easy it is to miss it
- A Spongebob Squarepants update to a cliche we've all heard before
- How the science of color can help us write challenging books
