I must be insane.
That is the only explanation for doing, or even attempting, something like this.
I've made reference in another series of mine to the Glory Cycle, supposedly a series of long poems telling the major stories of the Age of Glory, which the world spent mostly at war. It occurred to me that I could probably write one of them, if I wanted to be insane about it. Then an idea came along, and, well...
Derlian and Mariera is being written in eight-line verses rhyming ababccab and organized in cantos of twenty-two or so of these. It concerns a Lord of Summerfire high blood and a woman who wants to rule in his stead. I'll be putting up more cantos as I get them done.
Welcome to my insanity...
