Just a quick post this morning.
Avoiding housework (don’t tell my beloved) I clicked on a link in an email then clicked another link and eventually found a wonderful article about writing stories in rhyme by American author Dori Chaconas. It’s here.
It’s the best article about writing in rhyme I think I’ve come across. She explains about story elements, rhyme and rhythm patterns in detail, but in a way which is easy to understand. It has a lot to say to anyone who writes in rhyme – whether you are a beginner or more experienced.
I know I’ll be rereading it often.
You’re welcome Sue. Glad you found it as informative as I did. Good luck with the rewrite.
Thnaks for visiting my blog.
Hey, Sally – thanks for this link. Very inforormative. I have just been asked to rewrite a story as prose that was originally in rhyme. Very hard thing to do – but necessary as I the rhyme was forced in a couple of stanzas and Also had the voice issue as mentioned in this article; a couple of word choices that weren’t in keeping with my very young narrator!
Glad to hear how productive you
