On middles
I have mentioned in a blog a while ago a professor in my grad school had a course called “Narrative Middles” about works of fiction.
The course came to mind because I am now compiling the middle section of a novella about a US politician who keeps a daily journal after work.
The problem is compiling the middle can be tedious. The main public plot will be exposition and ending with the middle about the main character’s private psychology The problem is I find the middle a bit ike climbing a hill before your destination.
