So I am trying to work on my book. I am wanting to submit a completed manuscript over a proposal. That way, should I be accepted for publication, the writing is done and it is straight into the editing process.
However, this is the first time I am attempting on putting my thoughts to paper. There are not alot of books out on the market on the chosen subject I am writing about and I am running into a road block. The category which I am finding difficulty is in the Correspondence for the subject matter. I realize I am being very VERY vague because I have had some things / ideas taken from me in the past and choose not to expose too much information this time around. I wish I knew a published author personally so that I can ask their advice. The few I do know, I have yet to receive a response on my question or advice on which path of structure I should take. So I am going to ask anyone that is reading this......
In matters of Correspondence to the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
If its a completely new list of items that you have not seen described in book before, would you rather:
Option A - A simple Chart of the four elements with the new items listed under each of them?
Or
Option B - A chapter that consists of a glossary of why each item is in its specific elemental category listed in alphabetical order?
Please give your input....and many thanks!

Maybe you can merge the two, like have the chart to begin the chapter, then use the rest of the chapter to explain the chart, so its a quick reference, but also and in depth one if the person is reading the whole thing. I know a lot of time when I am just looking for something specific fast i look for a chart, but when i have time to sit down and read my books, i like to read the details so i get more information to help my studies.
