i wanna write a life story...but where do i begin?
 

i wanna write a life story in poetic form...

...but i have no idea how or where to begin..

......all i ask is for a little advice...

thank you...

You could always go with the infamous David Copperfield approach ala "I was born, I grew up." That always works.

But if it is poetic, I would suggest looking into the form of Epic Poetry. It's long, it's boring, and it's a waste of time. Much like your life, no offense.

Mo-mentai.

drop this in wackness emergency centre, i doubt you'll get any useful replies here

As Necro said, 'epic' poetry is where you gotta go...but that aint much help...


Basically you gotta start off with a structure...

...to do that, firstly write your life story in a periodic way...dividing it up...i.e. when you were 5-8 - write about your time then...8-13...same....13-18...etc. etc....(the age thing is just an example)....


After doing that, allocate each 'part' to about 4-8 lines...maybe more....

and keep doing that....

The order of what happened doesn't matter...well it does...but i mean you could put the end (where you are now) at the beginning...or something like that...

I think that should help....

but basically plan it out...i mean maybe use four lines for something that isn't as important...but something more important, use 8 lines...stuff like that...allocate each part with a certain amount of lines...(am i repeating myself?!...damn....)...

...Anyway, if you need further help, post this up in the Poetic Scriptures section...

Moved to Wackness Emergency Center.

And I like what Necromancer said "You could always go with the infamous David Copperfield approach ala "I was born, I grew up." That always works."

Oh sure, if you wanted to be HELPFUL you could write that. Bajeezus. What ever happened to endowing the lesser beings with the blessings of common sense?

firstly Bruklor i''m really feeling tha Tila Nyguen pic man. LOL

but to tha topic

yo man firstly if you wanna write a life story you may wanna start from the begging. Secondly if you wanna write it in a poetic style you'll need to use poetic devices. to name a few. Metas, Similies, Alliterations, Assonance, and Apostraphes. Those are the more common ones. Now you can look up what they mean and if you need help just e-mail me at Missingchild@hotmail.com cuz i'm pretty could with this poetry stuff.
