I have also slowed down a lot in recent years. I blame my choice in author - once I read Tolkien and Algernon Blackwood...it was hard to go back to conventional fiction. Genius can sometimes smother a good quick read.

I would say a bit of both for me. I plot out all of my novels, albeit in a fashion that allows me a bit of flexibility (I am not an obsessive, rigid plotter, as some of the best story threads can sometimes spring out of nowhere!). However, with my published novella, Spider from the Well, I...

Hello! Nice to meet you - and indeed a good way to start the new year.

I am currently reading the final part of Mark Chadbourn's Age of Misrule series, which I have enjoyed a lot. Alongside that I am dipping in and out of Stephen King's recent(ish) short story collection, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams - which is a bit hit and miss, but has some excellent stories in.

If you like that style of PC RPG, I would say Pillars of Eternity is a must. Long, in-depth, with a cool stronghold building aspect and a great script (just as well...as there is plenty of reading!). The same company recently released its follow up, called Tyranny, which is supposed to be good...

Welcome Sergei! Nice to (virtually) meet you!

Hello, Yeah, something along those lines could be good. A push for those about to start writing, or a critique/encouragement/boot up the rear for those procrastinating or looking for feedback on current works. Either/or works for me - would just be nice to be in a little fantasy focus group.

Hello Erik, Nice to meet you. I am also relatively new...and have a wife far above my station as well! Best, Tim.

Tim Reed's debut fantasy novel Summons of the Majestic is now released. Available as ebook and paperback via Amazon. I am extremely excited about the start of this dark fantasy trilogy. Please pick it up, share, and choose your favourite Summon...and then let me know why! Teepo is an orphan...

This is the front cover for my debut fantasy novel, Summons of the Majestic, recently released by Mirror Matter Press.

Hello all, Ah, I am a big fan of anime also. Love the more arty stuff, rather than the jagged lines and excessive violence kind. A list of some of my favourites are below (film and series): Mushishi Moribito Your Name. Anything Studio Ghibli The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Summer Wars Ghost...

A pleasure. Thanks!

Thanks very much. I shall!

Hello all, I am looking for something along the lines of an online fantasy writers group - smallish if preferable, for more intimacy of discussion - and Google and its cohorts is a bit obtuse/unhelpful when searching. Just wondering if anyone on here has any leads? What I am looking for is...
