I'd love to say I started the story with the intention of making it so poetic, but I'd be lying. :)
Actually, I was writing it normally and having enormous trouble making it work, until I realised that William The Bloody's internal monologue would obviously be filled with poetry. After that it was easy...
(I was scared silly that no-one would read it, but I think the opening scene with Darla threatening the wet-nurse got people's attention.)
