rachel/redacted

In the study of literature, redaction can refer to a form of editing, in which multiple source texts are combined together (redacted), and are subjected to minor alteration to make it appear that they are a single work. Often this is simply a method of collecting together a series of writings on a vaguely similar theme, and creating a definitive and coherent work.

On occasion, the person(s) performing the redaction – the redactor(s) – add brief elements of their own. The reasons for doing so are varied, and can include the addition of elements to adjust the underlying conclusions of the text to suit the redactor's opinion. More commonly, the additions during the redaction simply involve the addition of a framing story, such as the tale of Scheherazade which frames the collection of folk tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.

This is my daughter Hayden and myself photographed for a Canadian Family magazine article about dads with their children’s names tattooed on them.

Story behind the tattoo: Hayden was born during a blue moon so there is one behind her name and above it is a rose with a pink diamond inside it for my little girl.
