Begin at the Beginning

"Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop." ~ Lewis Carroll

If only it were that easy, right?

While on vacation I was inspired with the idea for a book. The plot spans several generations of women who are beautiful because of their strengths, even though they may not even realize they are strong at the time. And of course there is another character that connects them all, even though they won't know it until the end.

The problem is that there is no way I'll be able to begin at the beginning and go on until I come to the end, and then stop. I'm more likely to develop an outline and then develop it until everything is done. Fingers crossed for an outcome that is something as beautiful as the characters themselves.
