A few weeks ago I found
myself in this dilemma.
I had numbered my chapters
in Pineapples in Peril with the ancient Hawaiian numbers. Then I found out
there’s a modern system, which is just a bit different.
Normally I wouldn’t worry
too much about this, but because I want my book to be PERFECT, I needed to see
which was the preferred system. (Uhh . . . is there ever a perfect book? How many of you have found a mistake in a book
you’re reading?)
I soon discovered through
research and speaking with a college student who grew up in Hawaii, that they
teach the modern system to kids in school. Okay—so my book is for kids. Hmm . .
. figured I’d better change my chapter numbers!
Luckily I was still
working on corrections for galley number two, so I made the changes.
Unfortunately, the Advanced Reader Copies will have the ancient numbering
system—along with a couple other errors . . . sigh.
Check in on Thursday to
see a little about how the numbers work in the Hawaiian language and what I had
to change!
Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!
