    Fantasy heroes and swords

    It seems that most fantasy heroes use swords. Why is that? It there some special symbolism or meaning to that weapon? I tried writing a story with a magic quarterstaff, but it didn't seem right. What weapons are your fantasy heroes using?

    Are you looking forward to the last Harry Potter film

    Are you looking forward to the last Harry Potter film? I am. I even have the date marked on my calender. But when it finally comes out, I reckon that I'll be as mournful as i am excited. I grew up with this series, & I don't like it ending.

    Alternative fantasy races

    I reckon some races have been used too much. Dwarves, elves and orcs aren't fascinating any more. They are too common. What are some other fantasy races that readers will be less familiar with?

    Is the Sword of Shannara worth reading?

    Someone gave me a used copy of the Sword of Shannara. I know that it's thought to be a classic by some, but I've also heard lots of negative things about it. Some people say it it is a complete Tolkien ripoff. Is it worth my time?

    Writing is my great joy. However, my friends say that you can't make a living as a fantasy writer. Do you think it is realistic for me to have this as my aim?
