#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

• I’d keep Rosolie’s original notes alongside the finished chapter

  I'd want Rosolie's original notes preserved alongside the polished chapters. He describes checking his notebooks when writing a scene, then editing it repeatedly. The early record and the finished version serve different purposes. Comparing them would help me see where remembered details became a shaped account.

  His plan to finish chapters and send them to his sister before assembling the next book sounds workable. I'd still expect another edit once he knows how the chapters fit together. A scene can read well on its own and repeat something elsewhere.

  He says the journals include ordinary moments as well as remarkable events. Those details could matter when a book concentrates on the most dramatic days. I'd be interested in what gets left out.

  An early note can still contain an error. I'd want to know when it was written relative to the event before treating it as a reliable record.
