CHAPTER 6, on to Final version: On Writing MYTHS. So hard to
get a new chapter rolling! I ask myself if there’s a clever rule for this. The
5 W’s: WHO-WHERE-WHAT-WHEN-WHY…, good enough for a newspaper article, but in
novels, characters tell the story and my characters are not dancing for me
today! I’ll take another look…, maybe if I keep the five W’s straight, I’ll
find a rhythm…. WHO? Alpheius, Poseidon’s Royal Pleiad son. WHERE? On Helicon Mountain . WHAT? The building of Poseidon’s Grove. WHEN, during
Alpheius’ second year on the mountain. WHY? To please his father? Or so Echo,
his Human daughter, will entertain the Titan lords with her mountain songs? She
refuses to go into their caves and I can’t blame her, the Taurians don’t smell
very good! That’s probably the “why” behind
this chapter.
