...and salutations, everyone. I'm happy to meet you all. I've been searching for a community of fantasy fans and aspiring fantasy writers like myself for what seems like forever, and I hope to make this an online home where I can share my thoughts, opinions, hopes, dreams and ideas with people who love the genre as much as I do. I've been reading and writing fantasy since my early teens, starting out with Piers Anthony's "Xanth" books and quickly elevating from there to the work of Michael Moorcock, Stephen R. Donaldson, Raymond E. Feist, Guy Gavriel Kay, and many, many others. My apartment (and now my Kindle) is overflowing with fantasy books, and my brain, as a result, is overflowing with ideas for my own would-be stories/novels/whatever. It is my hope that becoming a part of this site will help me to find my path as a writer, separating the truly worthwhile ideas from the merely "eh" ones, and then developing the focus and discipline needed to concentrate on developing one idea from a mere concept to a full-fledged viable project.
I'm looking forward to getting to know and learning from all of you. Thanks for being here!
