Prologue:
Please don't make "disoriented newbie" into my nickname [I realize I'm asking for trouble with this statement]
The only chapter:
Hi Folks, My name is Anu.
I feel like I'm standing in the 5-year old choir girl pose with my interlocked fingers trying to dislocate my knuckle-bones. In case you cannot tell, I dislike introducing myself, as anything I write tends to come out like a desperate student's regurgitated mimicry of some other creative mind.
I belong to a family of critical thinkers who collectively believe that fantasy is bad for the soul as fantasy readers tend to live more in a make-believe world than the real world. I much prefer the make-believe sometimes, and that makes me the odd duck in my group. Hence, I am in desperate need of critical feedback that is more than just "oh, it's unrealistic and not very understandable!" I do know that my language tends to be rather flowery and my imagination tends to ramble quite a bit, so I would love to have any constructive feedback from fantasy readers and writers, which is what this forum's members appear to be.
As I said above, I ramble. To bring all that together: I am an amateur writer of fantasy who has so far written 3 1st chapters, 2 prologues and 1 outline. I have another 5 to 6 ideas for a variety of plots which I would, at some time in the next 10 years. get into writing... sigh. And I tend to rely quite a bit on emoticons, or their equivalent wordy sentences to get the facial expressions I'm imagining across to the reader. So, any help or feedback or pointers would receive wild appreciation
Epilogue:
If you got through all of the above, you are extremely patient and I am already excessively grateful to you!
Hope the prologue/epilogue categorization wasn't toooo cheesy
