Title definitions
So I've recently been working on my fiction writing. I have about 3 or 4 books started but not finished. I have the hardest time with the middle of my books. The beginnings go smoothly and then my brain skips to the end. Sigh...makes writing the middle difficult especially when my characters do not want to cooperate. As for the title of my post: I know we're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but how often do we judge one by it's title? So I often re-title my books as I go along so that it fits better or is catchier or what have you. I do have to say that I am proud of myself because I have a fairly decent short story done...maybe I'll post that here sometime. I dunno. Also I feel the need to explain the title of my blog for those who are not as strange as I. In "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll, the white queen tells Alice, "Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast". One of my other favorite quotes from Lewis Carroll (and I have many because they are so nonsensical they are wise) is from "Alice in Wonderland" (which is different from "Through the Looking Glass" though they both contain Alice and Wonderland). The king says, "Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop." Thoroughly wonderful advice, no?
