David Ivanov
Minstrel
Hi all, just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Dave but you can call me Dave for short. Or just Dave if that works better for you.
Okay, already being a wiseacre right out of the gate. Just signed up with this forum, hoping to find some like-minded folks for some mutual support, encouragement, hints, tips, etc. as we all work toward what I assume is a common goal -- writing great fantasy fiction with an eye toward getting it published.
These days I'm a far too serious and busy lawyer type (pause for the cat-calls and hisses to die down) in the Cincinnati area, married 20+ years with two kids and a cat. But the kid in me has been a lover of fantasy novels since about age 13 (lo, those many years ago), and I have been piddling around in my limited free time with writing some of my own stuff -- about five chapters into my first novel. I have no illusions (yet, anyway) about the quality of my work, but this looks like a great place to get some feedback and hopefully learn from people who are way ahead of me on the learning curve.
Looking forward to cyber-meeting everyone.
Cheers,
Dave
