new mantra: "never draft copy directly on paragraph"

wake up, look in the mirror, clear my throat and say it: "never draft copy directly on paragraph"

meet a friend for lunch. get the waiter's attention and they come over to ask if I need anything (I don't) and say, loudly: "never draft copy directly on paragraph"

Why? Copy and pasting it on there probably won't get you better results in my experience lol. 

My one big GRIPE about paragraph is the way that frames format content. There is no way to force a page break in frame. 

So if you have content that needs to be kept together, you can't. Paragraph always breaks it up in weird ways. I've resorted to doing really odd shit with the formatting just to get it to look good in frame.

I lost 60% of a newsletter today, only time I've had this happen. One moment the copy was there, the next it was gone. 

rewrote it, and not blaming Paragraph just think it's probably smart to compose a draft where I can back up my writing, and then upload to Paragraph for publication
