The Beginning of The Rise 

After the past events, celebration arise, 

The people are cheering with hope in their eyes. 

A concert is held, and Eve is invited, 

She makes a friend named Arabella and is very excited. 

Arabella takes Eve’s outfit and puts her own spin on it. 

But sadly after, a dangerous storm hits. 

A secret comes out, Arabella caused it on accident, 

Taking the Trident from her mother without consent. 

Now the villain kids must help to get it back.

A Rising Problem  

Evie’s archenemy, Uma, wants to get the Trident to leave the Isle of The Lost. 

 To do this she needs a necklace, but at what cost? 

After gaining a crew, she sets out for the pieces.  

With some help, she goes to the Isle of the Doomed, not being indecisive. 

Meanwhile, Eve tried to sneak out, with a speedboat to the sea.  

She gets caught red-handed, sadly. 

Thinking she’s still evil, the Fairy Godmother tries to punish her badly. 

King Ben saved Evie, saying it was a secret mission. 

Climax-Ode 

Finding the Trident 

After fixing the pendent, Uma is heading to the trident. 

Sadly, Evie is also going to the same location. 

They both finally meet at the Isle of the Doomed. 

Resolution, Conclusion-Free Verse 

When Evie and Uma meet 

They see each other after many years, 

Uma remembers how Evie left her in tears. 

The trident is there, in the ocean blue, 

Evie rewinds time and takes it in one swoop. 

Uma doesn’t realize and takes her glove instead. 

The day is saved once again.

An act of revenge is set 

Not wanting to be forgotten 

After being made fun of

Causes dangerous things

Going down in history 

Reading it was a journey 

Always remembering it 

Trying to never forget 

Because of the characters

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
