The title says it all. I just want to hear how others post on the Chaper-by-Chapter Discussion. Maybe I’ll start first.
I grab a pad and a pencil, then I skim the chapter, jotting down anything that comes into mind. After that I check the pad, and check to see which are firm ideas and which are not. I read the chapter again, this time more slowly and with time to pause and ponder. Sustainable ideas are then written out in detail, and the rest are tagged for deletion. Finally, I add some of my comments on the chapter. That’s the preparation phase. When I’m about to post, I read the thread first, to see if my points were already presented, and to look for supporting thoughts, or statements worth commenting. Then I adjust my prepared post accordingly, and finally I post it. It works for me sometimes, but there are other chapters where sustainable ideas are hard to come by. How about the other CBC posters? How do you prepare a CBC post? (Maybe I can borrow some ideas . . . )

I'm impressed! Nothing as organised for me, I'm afraid. I read the chapter through again, and sometimes there will be something which leaps out at me, and if this is the case, I will go through and gather my thoughts together in a methodical fashion. At other times I simply read what others have written and may respond to their thoughts, or if I have nothing new to add, let is pass by and just enjoy reading the posts. But I also anticipate favourite chapters and lie in wait for them to come along, like a Tiger with my Tolkien claws sharpened.
![]() I think some chapters attract more comment, and if this is a particularly popular one, it can be hard to keep up with everything and create a coherent post yourself! Still, with your approach, there should be no problems with that!

Unless I'm inclined to analyse poetry, I usually react on the spot - to what is posted. That's, btw, one of the great point of the board system - without fellow discussers my own reasoning (beside great things one has the chance of learning) would have been shallower
cheers
