So I am practicing at least, I have started writing a story that has been clinging to my peripheral thoughts for a few years. I decided my start should be a little cliche, so I wrote a prophecy for the main character(s) I'm not entirely pleased its not as lyrical as I wanted but the content is there, I can clean it up later right?
I mentioned that I need to get back into high gear with my Poetry and I think that as I work on it I'll be able to revisit the prophecy. All the content I wanted is there and that's what a rough draft is about. This story has needed to be told and has been taunting me for a while but it's achingly complicated and will be an exercise of skill for me. I'll likely be pulling every tool I've ever heard of out of the Writer's Work-chest.
Here is a snippet:
"Even now as the great reside
Within shining palace hiding whats inside.
Shadows grow long and whisper in Darkness
Talk of what was, what is and what will come!
As the lands of the Nine, glory and green
Come to Bended knee that the Palace may glean."
Sort of the Prologue or introduction portion of my Prophecy, the finished verse is much longer and while I'm not fully happy with it I'll still have time to refine it. I'm following the basic outline for creative prophecy. The Situation, Bad Outcome, The Solution (Prophesied happening/person), Good Outcome. We'll see how it works while I go burn incense to my Muse.
