"I've thought up an ending for my book."
An idea for the last chapter title for Shakespeare's Basement came to me just now as I was eating a muffin:
I wanted something in keeping with the rest of the chapter titles, which are (sometimes inexcusably snarky) adaptations of Shakespeare quotes, but something nobler, something less cute or sarcastic than the titles for the main part of the book. Something to end the book on a hopeful note suited to the story.
So we have (ahem):
Oh brave new world, so inspired.
It seems fitting, not only for context, but because the quote is from The Tempest, from which I am brazenly borrowing my plot.
Speaking of which...
My good friend and go-to girl for this novel, jalen_mara, brought this to my attention the other day. Both of us were kind of freaking out because my story being a parallel of The Tempest, I had long ago cast Helen Mirren in the book as the character correspondent to Prospero. And then this came out.
Should I take it as a good sign...?
Happy Thursday, everyone.
