Broken Finger

It starts with an idea

that continues with another and more.

Now you have a protagonist,

here have an antagonist,

make sure you clarify which one is which,

unless you want a princess as the witch.

It’s your story, your own little glory.

Now here is a conflict,

don’t hesitate to add some romance,

it makes the story dance.

The lover could be the problem, the solution,

or the fuel of confusion—anything you would like.

Remember, failure is only fruit to hesitation.

It’s your story, your own little glory.

Make the land less blurry, make its time in no hurry,

now you have the dough of the story.

Sprinkle a sub-plot here, expound over there,

now you have icing for the story you could share.

More sub-plots there, fix plot holes here.

Now, my friend, I can tell you the becoming of a story is near.

It’s your story, your own little glory.

And as you take cover,

as writer’s block takes over,

I encourage you to rise for it non-existent,

it’s only the writer not being persistent.

Predicting you’ve stood up,

allow every idea to flow out and erupt.

It’s you story, your own little glory.

Perhaps you’ve reached the end,

I’ll tell you, congratulations, my friend,

but a story written, is a story to be rewritten,

so please go back to it again.

Now it’s a story,

now it’s your own little glory.

Seriously, write it again.
