A Book within a Book

It's fun to read books within books.  The story lines are unique.  It can be like putting together a reader's puzzle of sorts.

A story within a story.  Ones that come to mind for me are "The Neverending Story" and "The Princess Bride."  Of course, there are certainly more.

Those are fairly easy to keep straight - the present day story vs the other story.  Sometimes, though, it can be a challenge trying to figure out what's what.

That's where descriptive dialogue and good character development come in handy.  And some good editing, too!

I've been keeping a journal about writing and not writing and it could read like a book (I have no plans to submit it ... ever!).  My story within my journal is simply another story for some other time.

The End
