HaikuPrajnaBreathing life into/ the wild, creatures and landscapes./ Beyond fear of change.( Stream of Water )
Shifting back to “Spear-thrower”, which was the story I drafted for last year’s “Primal”-themed Inktober and the following National Novel Writing Month. The second draft is focused on fleshing out the characters and environment. One of the elements I am giving more description toward are the “wild-things”, which I envision to be hairy human-like mammals of various stature. Their Cain and giants inspired background lends into another element I am putting my attention toward, and that is the theosophy of the time period through the wisps and the cave-people’s usage of their mental imagery. By going over the first draft and adding elements like this to the story, to me it solidifies the themes of change and information that “Spear-thrower” is centered on.
