The thing I’ve learned about layering is that it does not involve shifting huge amounts of text and rewriting it from scratch. It involves tweaking the text already there, sprinkling in subtle changes that influence the flavor. It is like cooking, a tiny pinch of spice can create a big difference in the final experience. You want the reader to savor your work, not get indigestion.

Note to self: dieting while writing blog posts can influence your posts.

This is a good example of how subtle changes can create a large difference.
