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...
