As he had done many times since finding the book, he looked at the words on its title page: The Book of Story Beginnings. There was a verse beneath the title. It made him shiver a bit because it was so wonderful. Almost like a story beginning itself:
Beware, you writers who write within;
Be mindful of stories that you begin;
For every story that has a beginning
May have a middle and an end.Know this, too, before you write:
Though day must always lead to night,
Not all beginnings make good tales;
Some succeed, while others fail.Let this book its judgment lend
On whether and how your beginning ends.-The Book of Story Beginnings by Kristin Kladstrup
