Foah
Troubadour
Because what is more approriate a greeting than a misspelled one, here at a writers' forum? 
My name is Foah. Obviously not a name given at birth, yet I rarely go for anything else online. I'm 23 years of age, currently residing in Stockholm, Sweden which is where I've done most of the growing up parts of my life. I'm a high school drop-out - I had one of those make-money-quickly urges back at 16-17, so to the local supplies distribution center it was.
Now, some 6 years later, I'm on the verge of going back to the uni side of life. That's one of the extremely good things about Sweden - it's never too late to catch up on studies, and it's free. Hell, you even get monthly grants to get your butt through courses.
The one goal that's still standing for me, is to write the novels I've wanted to write for so long, and get these ideas I walk around with molded into, subjectively speaking, epic tales. So, to end the introduction I think a description of my work sounds fitting.
I'm heavily invested in the world-building part of things at this time. At this time, rough estimates would say I have nearly 2,000 places in my world mapped out (literally, mapped out. Yay for knowing photoshop and having simple pencil drawing skill). 1,500 people have also made their way into the character resources department. Factions, beliefs, history of the world, you name it - it's all been through a few drafts already. Funny thing is that I have yet to write the very first word of the actual novel.
The biggest problem I see myself having, is the one posed by the english language. I'm a purebred Swede, and my english comes mostly from reading newspapers, books and watching the neverending supply of TV series and cinematic blockbusters from the states. While I consider my english to be fairly good, I'm sure it will prove troublesome at times, but all good things take time.
On these forums, I hope to find people in the same place in their novel working, and people who can provide help and support along the way.
This has been a ramble, but I'm here. Hi
