Having trouble getting that Lord of the Rings style epic saga on the page?
Try writing a poem about it first!
No need for rhymes if you find that too hard, but using stanzas and poetic ways of thinking will help you figure out the flow of your story. What events are actually important? What parts seem to have a lot of emotion behind it, and in contrast, what parts still seem a little stale? Where is the story going and what are you trying to accomplish with it?
Just a different approach to try and get that masterpiece started!
