Chapter 1. Love Can Build a Bridge Bridge Essentials


Now, since the "fake title" I give each chapter is based on either a movie title, song title, or band name, the obvious name for a chapter on the new Adobe Bridge (which replaces the old File Browser) is "Bridge Over Troubled Water." However, that name stinks up the place for three reasons: (1) The song is kinda lame; (2) the "troubled water" part sounds negative; (3) the name is too obvious. And if you've read any of my books in the past, you already know that (a) I don't usually go for obvious names, (b) my chapter titles are just for funit's the subheads that appear below them that tell you what the chapter is really about, (c) you know that these chapter intros have littleif anythingto do with what's actually in the chapter; but, since the rest of the book is so "Step One, do this, Step Two, do that," if I don't get to write these chapter intros using my own writing "voice," I'll come unglued, and (d) you know that I like to list things using numbers and letters (like I'm doing here). Now, since I didn't use the painfully obvious "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as the title, why did I use The Judds' "Love Can Build a Bridge" as the title? I used it because it wasn't "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and honestly, that was good enough for me. Actually, I wanted to use the title The Bridge on the River Kwai (which is a brilliant movie), but the title was just a little too long to fit, so I went with the Judd duo instead. A lot of authors don't give you this type of inside look behind the scenes into what really goes on in the seedy world of publishing. But then, most authors' chapter intros make sense.
