ZAnd it’s a vote for ‘improbable’ from me too.

Thanks, again, for all the good advice and reasoning, too.

‘Improbable life’ gets a thumbs up from me too.

Nice. Might have a go as I’m in between edits…

“A Lyttle Goes a Long Way”
The Improbable Life of an Ulster Storyteller
gets my vote.

Improbable tale feeds into the stereotype of Irish blarney. That title tells the reader before they’ve turned the cover that what follows is not to be believed, so why bother buying the book?

Improbable life suggests a life fully lived, a life of intrigue and…[Read more]

My vote goes to:

“A Lyttle Goes a Long Way”
The Improbable Life of an Ulster Storyteller

I’m intrigued by the idea of an improbable life! Improbable tales abound, but an improbable life really piques my interest.

That’s my tuppence worth, anyway 🙂

Thanks again for all the advice, guys.
It’s clear I should stick with “A Lyttle Goes a Long Way”.

But the subtitle:
The Improbable Tale of an Ulster Storyteller
The Improbable Life of an Ulster Storyteller

The Remarkable Tale… or Life…
The Extraordinary Tale… or Life…

or some other type of Tale… or Life…?

This deadline will make me get my act together 🙂

Ooh! Interesting!

I agree, keep the subtitle in. I especially like GippsGirl’s suggestion of ‘improbable’. More interesting than ‘extraordinary’ IMO, and for the reasons she states.

Great idea for the competition – specially as I had an entry all ready to go and didn’t need to do any actual work…

Congrats, Sandra. I’m only glad I didn’t have to do the judging.

I, too, think a subtitle (strapline?) works, though I’m rather partial to Kaz’s suggestion of ‘improbable’ which suggests an especially rollicking good story from an Ulster Storyteller.

Definitely keep the subtitle in, IMO.

Nice work Sandra – congratulations 🙂 Stunning entries all round – might have to rewrite my WIP opening again!

Congratulations @sandra! And well done @raine, I’m sorry I didn’t join in as I somehow missed this new version of a comp (great idea btw)…but my fault entirely. I will read all these with relish 🙂 x

Thanks, Raine, and well done, Sandra 🙂

Works for me! And with the subtitle, too…

Agree with you Raine, 100%! Loved Sandra’s start (among others!!) Well done, Sandra x

Great idea for the competition, Raine.
Sandra – well deserved. Absolutely intriguing start.
