Great post Nathen. My index was accidentally missed by the publisher in my first book and I was devastated! I now start my index when I'm writing, not all of it of course, but a name or a place goes straight into my index, saves me a little time later on.
I was searching for something in an index that I thought for sure would be in there- it escapes me now but I was frustrated when it wasn't there and I had to go digging through the book for it ... so thank you !! Especially bc I am someone who uses and appreciates your indexes continuously 🏆

Tidbit or titbit? Is it a different side of the ocean thing?
Thank you for this Nathen! This was a very useful and engaging insight into the process which I am sure to refer back to!

I recently added Index, A History of the: A Bookish Adventure by Dennis Duncan to my ever-growing To Read list.
I'd never heard of that until about 20 minutes ago when I googled 'indexing'. Looks intriguing.
