Hi gang,
Well, I’ve been working on a trilogy of fantasy novels since … (wait for it) …
1993
Ouch!
Yeah, it’s been a bit of a long haul. But it’s not a project I’ve ever been able to work on full time. My notebooks, research files and various versions of assorted manuscripts have been poured over, put up on a shelf, then come back down, gone back up and come down again more times than I can remember over the years.
Why’s it all taken so long? I don’t really know. Having written a couple of plays back in the early 90s I originally set out to write a comic-romp of a reverse fairy tale, and it just sort of … snow-balled. So I’ve got all the maps, the character sheets, the plot diagrams, 3,000 years of history, a pantheon of deities … I just can’t seem to get the damn thing finished!
Over the past year I’ve been giving it a serious go – working every day, and my teenage daughter (whose a way better writer than me with 52,000 reads on her latest fanfic) said I should join a forum to get some help. So here I am.
Really looking forward to getting to know you all, and hoping some positive vibes will inspire me to get the job done.
